[Simh] C64 and C128

[Clem cole]

The C64 and C128 were based on the MOS Technology 6502 which Commodore eventually became the IP owner.    I do not know of an 8502 processor. 

As I said previously this is the same chip as used by Apple, Atari and many others. 

It did not run CP/M which needed an Intel 8080 based instruction set (the Zilog Z80 is an 8080 superset).
