Should be a quickie for the guys that know what they are doing

Can I use my Tempest CPU (90-6013) in my Millipede (90-6012) for testing?

Thanks!

I just checked, and it seems that the 90-6013 is a 6502A chip. (A 6502A processor is a faster version of the 6502 processor.)

I think those longer numbers you listed (90-6013, 90-6012) may be the Atari part numbers, not the chip manufacturer numbers.

At any rate, you can almost always substitute a faster processor in for a slower one. Going in reverse can be a gamble.

Definitely the Atari part numbers.

I didn't realize these things are that cheap..for 3-4 bucks I'll buy a couple for the shelf!
