Agreed... the date is highly constrained to the
introduction of the 6502 and the start of MICRO! :)
I remember maybe 10 years ago figuring out the connection between the typed copier paper version and the formally-published MICRO mags. I will see what notes I have, maybe I wrote something about it someplace, but IIRC Bill Sudbrink has these. They have "6502" written in pen. I suppose 1976 given the 650a came out in late 75 (?), but the 6502 was not really popular until the JOLT/Apple I/Kim 1 of 1976.

I kind of assumed these were already on the web but I did not find any archives.

What dates? Rare stuff! Similarly good reading is from the Dr Dobs early stuff, I recommend getting ahold of the 1976 "best of" volume, and maybe the next three. Fun reading what people were thinking back then. On 6/14/2021 2:11 PM, Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic wrote: I should add MICRO is also known as Micro "the 6502 Journal". I also have a run of less formally-published 6502 journals which I assume was what MICRO evolved from. I'd have to confirm that.

I found the index within a stack of MICRO magazines I have been moving around. This is useful to have because MICRO had a lot of useful technical info relating to the 6502-based micros of the time period. It's hard to search the web for "micro index" - one just gets a lot of nasdaq stock stuff. I did not check 6502 or other archive sites, this may already be listed there, but here it is againhttps://www.vintagecomputer.net/browse_thread.cfm?id=783 Bill
