This 6502 is as old as me and I test it

There is a lot of argument if the missing ROR instruction is a bug or not. Whatever it is, it was clearly intended to be there but was left out at the last minute, likely due to time constraints for the release for the CPU. Just a handful of months later an updated data sheet was released saying the instruction would be added into future versions of the chip. The ROM we wrote is able to identify (in a running system) if you have a CPU that has a non-functional ROR instruction. --- Info Possible TTL shift register TI 1A5008 --- Video Links ROM to test for the ROR bug on the Apple II: Pagetable ROR bug article: A viewer @DaftdogUK discovered what this is!
