Commented source code RWTS routines in fact.  Not only does the CSM-101
T-800 have a 6502, but it runs on 5.25" disks formatted for DOS 3.3.  I
remember someone on this group claiming he recognized the code as his own
published in a magazine, and joked with the idea of putting, "Wrote code
for Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Terminators," on his resume.

(What does a Terminator need with source code?)

On V a couple nights ago they had to break a four-character password.  For
the codebreaking sequence they did a memory dump of an Apple II from
somewhere in the $6000 area.  All these hex numbers printing when the
password was KYLE.  D'oh!

I'm sure the "Apple IIs in TV shows and movies" thread is a FAQ.  Who is
maintaining it these days.
