He's just quoting from the Apple I manual.  Gotta blame The Apple
Computer Company for that one.  I remember seeing 65K appear now and
again in various vendor's literature of the time, even, IIRC,
Synertek.

I wrote him about the part about Apple I memory refresh, wait-states,
etc.  That part seems to be a liberal interpretation of the Apple I
docs as well.  I can see how it's ambiguous if you don't _know_ what
the 6502 can and can't do.
