  The Commodore 64 was very similar, except that it was besed in the
6510. The 6510 was based on the same instruction set, but had minor
differences (which I don't remember). The _Programmer's_Reference_Guide_
published my Commodore had about half of its pages dedicated to ML, the
opcodes, clock cycles, chip data, pinouts, and a big (suitable for
framing) schematic in the back.
