Subject: What CPU is in the second processor?

Is your question, which second processor family? e.g. 65xx, Z80, ARM etc. or 
are you also interested in WHICH 65xx processor, e.g. 65C02, 6510, 65SC12, 
etc. (Which actually is also a relevant question because there is a slight 
change in valid opcode)
