- I'm wondering if the CPU name is a number of 4 digits (6502) or a string of 4 chars (65O2). The zero is replaced by an "O" (letter O). Same for 2A03 or 2AO3?
sixty-five-zero-two, since it's part of a series that goes from 6502 - 6517. (6519?). I'm pretty certain it's also the two-A-zero-three, but I don't have as good a justification for that.
Zero, but I use O in verbal pronunciation (Six-five-oh-two). I have no idea it this is even remotely correct, but eh.
I think the typical pronunciation when people actually talked about 6502 was "sixty-five-oh-two" similar to "sixty-eight-kay".
I'm learning
to quote the Wikipedia. Well, it's clear enough - 6502.
Here we call it the "six thousands five hundreds two" literally (but in french this is shorter that's why we dont say numbers separately).
I always said "six five oh two", yet called the 68000 "sixty eight kay"
I've always pronounced it roughly [sIkstifaivou't_hUu] (6 t 5 o 2).
(What is
X-SAMPA?)
I'm pretty sure we had this discussion before...

Please watch your language.

i am pretty sure everyone programming for an extended period on an 8-bit system has called the processor that at one time or another.

Nope -- only with processors like the x86 and highly obfuscated/abstracted languages like Python and ruby.
The only thing I wish classic 6502 had were multiplication/division opcodes, other than that, it's a fairly simple/linear platform to program on.
Coming up with software division is fun, though. But yeah, 6502 is simpler than most asm and HLLs.
Oh yeah, I also wish you could shift/rotate more than one bit at a time. Would be easier to do fixed-point division.
