Wow! You haven't posted in over 5 years. This was worth the wait.
" I had the BBS running on that within a few hours." Is this because the 6502 opcodes are a subset of the 6510 ? Did anyone encourage and assist your curiosity or was it just you and an advanced Commodore technical/reference manual ?
Related I did C64 computer repair in high-school and also lived in NYC. I sold modified peripherals to work with Commodore's Amiga, or game accessories like a parallel port attachment to allow 4 joysticks on games (e.g., Gauntlet). I shipped COD (cash on delivery) and advertised for free on BBS's. It was exciting and I was able to eventually qualify for in-state tuition at ASU partly from the money I had earned over those years ensuring I could afford to graduate.
