Actually, I'll grant it's not microcode per se, but it's a table-driven 
system with a multiple-cycle-per-instruction clock that steps thru the 
table, so now it's an argument more over "what is microcode" than it is over 
whether a 6502 has microcode.

I'd say anything that steps thru a ROM with a counter during one instruction 
is probably microcode, myself.
