At the very bottom of our MOS page we are building a list of MOS 6502 based devices. It is intended to include the 6502, 6510, 65C02, and 65C816 processors.
http://www.commodore.ca/history/company/mos/mos.htm
If you can add anything to our list please post your suggestions (with references if you can find them) here in this thread.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the Game Boy and Game Boy Color don't use a 65xx based processor, but rather a close relative of the Z-80.

I guess this page has now moved to:
http://www.commodore.ca/history/company ... 00cpus.htm ?
I forgot about visiting here until this forum showed up during a vanity search on google
Gameboy should still be removed, source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gameboy
As for other additions, the whole Atari 8-bit line is probably the most major omission:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_400
The Atari 2600, 5200 and 7800 consoles all use 65xx processors.
Since you specifically mentioned the Apple IIc and IIgs, you should complete the whole family, or just revise it to all 8-bit Apples, plus the IIgs.
The Acorn and Oric computers are also 6502 based and were very influential in particular parts of the world.
A pretty good list can be found here:
