Check out a book by the author whose last name is Anceau.
The author's first name and title of the book escape me now.
The book discusses different implementations of the 6502
(which were actually fabricated) in an attempt to determine
the tradeoffs between performance and die size for fully
hardwired designs to fully micocoded designs (and everything
in between!).
I think you'll find this interesting, Bob.
