MOS Technology was hurting badly after they withdrew the 6501.  You 
could get a 6502 for about $25, IIRC.  A couple of friends even 
picked up 6502 S-100 cards (SSM? I don't remember) because they were 
too cheap to resist.

I don't know if they did anything with them, considering the momentum 
x80 software was beginning to experience.
