Bill Mensch

Bill Mensch is the inventor of the *65C02, and *W65816 derivatives of the famous *6502 microprocessor, and head of the Western Design Center.

He is sometimes seen as egotistical, for having reserved the opcode "WDM" (short for William D. Mensch) for all future *Western Design Center corporate website products.

In addition, the Western Design Center produces a computer system, the Mensch Computer, based on the W65C816 microprocessor and running the Mensch Works suite of software.

He received an associate's degree from Temple University and his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.
