I don't know if the names of the pins were involved as well but I can imagine that they changed them as well to be on the sure side. It certainly wouldn't hurt.

But the 6501 I quoted description for is the 6800 pin compatible one. Actually the one that had to be later dropped as part of the settlement with Motorola. Yet this one pin name is changed already there.

Well.. never mind, I guess :-)
