	Zak's book is good as a non-platform specific reference, which sounds
like just what you want.  It requires some ML background to really 
appreciate, but it sounds like you have that.
	The 6502, 6502b and 65c02, i.e. the Apple 2 chips, were made
by Synertek.  I couldn't tell you how to contact them, or even if they still
exist.
