Tomczak noted the same in his book. However, he also noted that Apple
bought almost all of the 6502s from Synertek or some other second
source. I seem to recall a discussion somewhere where MOS had the 6502,
had gotten slammed by Motorola on the 6501 and had to ditch it, was
hurting for money, and was finding it hard to push the '02 because they
were small fab and had no second sources for the IC (presumably the
prospective buyers wanted some insurance).

My (currently dead) Apple ][+ has a SY6502. Prolly Synertek.
