When you look at microprocessors up to the very late 70s you might notice many of them have a 6 and/or 8 in their names. Like the 6502, 8080, 8086, Z80, M680X, M680XY... Is this a coincidence or a pattern behind that? -- Andreas My random toughts and comments https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/
