The Commodore SuperPET does indeed use a 6502, but it also uses a 6809.
The architecture of the SuperPET is really quite interesting (for the
time it was built).  If you set a switch on the side one way, you get
a standard Commodore 8032.  If you set the switch the other way, you
get a 6809 machine with its own set of roms and an additional 64K of
bank switched memory.  The SuperPET comes with BASIC, Fortran, Pascal,
Cobol, APL, and a 6809 assembler development system.

If anyone is interested in picking up one of these, I've got an old
one sitting around, complete with 2031 disk drive and all of the
software.
