It came with a blazing 1.77 MHz Motorola 65C02 microprocessor [...]

Well, close. The 6502 was MOS Technology. But the architecture was similar to the Motorola 6800, from which the 6502 was copied by the designer who had jumped ship from Mot to MOS Tech.

The IIc used a 65C02 Motorola chip. The Apple II used the 6502. And the Mac used a 68000 Motorola. I used to have the microprogramming specs for the 68000, although I never had a Mac. And I still have the machine language book for the 65C02. Even wrote a few ML programs for that IIc.
