     You may be able to download a data sheet from a Rockwell, Western 
Design Center, and/or GTE web site.

     A very good-- maybe the best-- collection of easy-reading, 
well-illustrated information about the 6502 is the set of KIM manuals: the 
KIM Hardware Manual, the KIM Programming Manual, the KIM User's Manual.

     KIM-- for Keyboard Input Monitor-- was a latter 1970's single-board 
6502 development system which, for many, grew into a micro-computer. The 
manuals are large-format soft-cover books which occassionally show up at 
used book stores and Apple II swap-meets.  

     Perhaps the single best book about 6502 programming on an Apple II is 
Roger Wagner's  Assembly Lines: The Book  from Roger Wagner Publishing.
