Interview with Chuck Peddle, father of 6502

Post by BilHerd »

A 2 minute snippet from an interview Jeri Ellsworth and I did with Chuck Peddle for the CBM users group. Includes Bender and Terminator references. The original video has stories of selling the original 6502s out of a hotel room, Chucks wife taking the money.

So is Chuck an evil genius or just a genius?

Agreed!

Good to see you here on 6502.org, Bil: welcome!

We did have a link to this interview before, but it's nice to have a reminder - there's lots of good stuff in there. If I go through it again I should try to pick out some highlights and link to them.

(I haven't viewed it all yet, but I see there's another Chuck Peddle talk on YouTube which might be worth a look, from VCF East 4.0 - the skype on a projector screen starts 14 mins in, prior to that there's some vintage walking around, meet-and-greet and a handout of a synertek 6516 proposal. Chuck gets into the 6502 genesis around 6mins into episode 2.)

Cheers
Ed
