That would mean that they licenced down to the mask level. Was this the 
case? Or just rights to make own design based on the MOS one. If that's 
the same design then it should be compatible even with all undocumented 
opcodes.

The R6502AP is AFAIR a 2MHz Rockwell version. I got those in place of 
1MHz MOS6502s, which I wanted. Wondering now whether I should return 
them. If they are indeed fully compatible / the same as MOS then fine. 
Otherwise I can envision some unpredictable things with e.g. the illegal 
opcodes.
