I think the 6502 was intended to compete with the 6800 and offered similar features, but it definitely wasn't a perfect silicon copy and was designed from scratch.
If you read the Commodore book you will see how the 6502 has nothing to do with the 6800.
To everyone, BUY THE COMMODORE BOOK.. It is amazing. But the post-Tramiel stuff is sad/depressing. Up until that point it's wonderful and exciting to read.
