Confirming currency for dollar figures quoted

Can someone confirm if the dollar figures in the article are all USD, and if so, update the article accordingly ? OZ_Rhett 23:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many more MOS chips

I'm thinking of expanding the "Products" section to include a lot more MOS Technology chips, but it might start getting a bit long because of all the PAL and NTSC variants of the video chips. Is it worth doing? It would probably be better to list all the VIC chips in the VIC-II article. Any feedback is welcome. Bill Bertram 07:46, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps it may be done like the existing VIC, VIC-II listings, i.e. naming the article based on the product name instead of the number, and then list different variants together on the same line? BTW, which are the chips you're talking about? Could you list them here on the discussion page for us other 'Commodorians' to see? --Wernher 18:48, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I think you're right, I'll list the VIC variants in their respective pages. I'll just add some other MOS chips which haven't been listed. I guess what I'm trying to do is to make the MOS Technology page a gateway for Commodore chips on Wikipedia, so people won't have to search for them. Bill Bertram 21:41, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
OK, great. Looking forward to see the as-yet unlisted chips! --Wernher 17:10, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I'm working on it! :-) Bill Bertram 18:54, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Amiga chips

I want to add as many chips I can get information on, including the chips for the Amiga. I know the chips weren't designed by MOS, but they probably contributed to some of the design to get the Amiga chipset to market. Would it be correct to add Amiga chips to the list? Bill Bertram 21:41, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hmm, if the chips were at least produced by MOS/CSG, mentioning them in the MOS article might be correct as long as the originating companies were listed as well. But since you're asking, I would certainly have listed other chip design companies' chips under those companies' articles. BTW, did MOS design any of the Amiga chips? Not at all being an 'Amiga man', I would guess some/most of the significant Amiga chips were designed by Miner & Co. over at Amiga, Inc., before the Commodore buyout? --Wernher 17:10, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
The chipset was designed at Amiga, but the chipset was nothing more than a collection of breadboards. I'm sure a lot of the work to transform the breadboards into a mass produced IC was most likely carried out by engineers at MOS, with input from Jay Miner et al.

4510?

Looking through Category:Computer stubs, I saw 4510 (computer chipset), and was wondering if this might be a MOS chip. If so, that page should probably be renamed accordingly. It was used in the Commodore 64. I suppose it could have been made by just about anybody... —User:Mulad (talk) 18:47, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

I did a quick Google search for "MOS 4510" and, among other things, I found "MOS 4510 (CGS65CE02), 3.45 MHZ" in a specification for the Commodore 65. I'm not sure if it was used in the 64, but if you have definite proof of this I guess it was. :-) Anyway, I'll list it in the list of MOS chips. Thanks for mentioning it. --Wernher 10:17, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Name?

What does the name mean—is it supposed to be an acronym for Metal Oxide Semiconductor, or what? TIA, Maikel 15:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
