completely different, the main screen software in my StarShip uses the

that would go OT.
Was the 6809 all that wonderful for the time? Consider that the
NS32016 was just starting to show up around 1980. Far more advanced
architecture. If it wasn't for NS's attention-deficit-disorder, it
might have found its way into many more systems.
I've got an NS32CG16 (32016 with graphics extensions) that's waiting
for a "sometime" SBC project.
