Maybe 8748. There was a mask version of this in the PC keyboard

That was followed by the 8051 family (8751 would have been the EPROM
version) - which I believe was very popular in car ECUs. It was also
multi-sourced. I've used both i8748 and a Philips 8051 clone at $work
many years ago.
Dunno, the only instruction set I really grok is
65C02, which is by your
standards probably little more than a toy.
Oh, no. Useful. There was similar Intel (i think) cpu that was flashable. Anyhoo, the 6502 is a fine little processor and knowing
how to make it
sing is a useful skill.
For various reasons, I never learnt 6502. I preferred the Motorola CPUs
(though $work was very Intel based).
