Tony,
I still say the 6809 was the best 8 bit micro ever.
Though I don't have any 6809 systems here I still have my 6809/6809E
Microprocessor Programming Manual from 1981.
Lately I do more with my PDP-8's then anything recent like the 6809🙂

Tony,
Thank you for the education. I did some minimal programming of the 6847
on the CoCo and nothing really on the 6845.
A majority of the 6809 programming that I did was for Gimix, when I
worked there in the early 1980's.
And then on embedded 6809 based system, also in the early 1980's.
In the
second half of the 1980s I did a few embedded 6809 projects, my
final year project at university and then some designs a for a company
I did a summer job for. I developped all the code on my CoCo system
under OS-9 and burnt the binaries into EPROMs using a home-made
programmer on the CoCo.
I still have all the hardware, still all works. My Motorola databook
is still on the shelf, although the pages are falling out due to all
the use it has had. Still love the 6809.
