The # means `immediate mode addressing'... there's no addressing mode
with a pseudo-op like `byte'. Putting the # there doesn't do anything
useful, and it has the non-useful possibility of confusing people who
are still learning 6502 assembly...
I don't have my Atari 800 emulator handy (am at work), but I'm almost 100%
sure that no 6502 assemblers that run on actual 6502-based machines ever
supported `byte #' in their syntax. Mostly I used Mac/65 and the Atari
Assembler cartridge back then, maybe some other platforms had assemblers
that allowed it (C=64?), but I'd be surprised to hear it.
