  Fortune shines in a small way.
 The MC146805E2 is a CMOS 6805 with no internal ROM. 8 pins are
 multiplexed data and low order-address (A0-A7), another 5 pins are
 higher-order-address (A8-A12). There are an address strobe pin and data
 strobe pin for demuxing.
 Other major features:
    - 112 bytes internal RAM
    - 16 programmable bidir IO port lines.
    - internal 8-bit timer and 7-bit prescaler.
    - on chip oscillator
 I see there is only one accumulator in the 6805s, so - as Eric was
 hinting at - the base CPU is paired down from the 6800. Haven't checked
 whether it is op-code compatible. 
Yay, so its not a crap chip after all and could be reused in a
hobbyist project.
If anyone wants one, let me know and I'll collate together requests
and pass it on.
