on august 19, 1974, the former motorola employees moved into mos technology's headquarters at valley forge, pennsylvania. the goal was to design and produce a low cost microprocessor for embedded applications and to target as wide as possible a customer base. this would be possible only if the microprocessor was low cost—and in the semiconductor business, chip size determined cost. the size goal required n-channel "depletion-load" mos transistors, a more advanced process than mos technology's calculator chips used. john paivinen was able to have the fabrication process ready by june 1975. chuck peddle, rod orgill, and wil mathys designed the initial architecture of the new processors. there would be two microprocessors: the 6501 would plug into the same socket as the motorola 6800, while the 6502 would work with 6800 family peripherals and have an on-chip clock oscillator. these processors would not run 6800 software because they had a different instruction set, different registers, and mostly different addressing modes. a september 1975 article in edn magazine gives this summary of the design:
