HP equivalents lists -- warning!

I am sure everyone here who fixes old HP stuff knows of the equivalents lists that were published in Bench Briefs (which are now on the web). Today I was looking at aboard from an HP tape drive. I was pretty sure the 40 pin chip with a Motorola logo and an HP 1820-xxxx number was some flavour of 6809, but I couldn't rememebr what speed of whether it was an -E version, so I grabbed the latest equivalent list. I wasn't listed... But I was sure I recognised the number, so I looked in my older list. It was there. A 68B09. I also found a device I was looking at the other day, and which I suspected was a microcontroller (and isn't in the latest list) is listed in the older one as a 68488 ()which is what I deduced it to be after spending several hours downloading data sheets from the web and trying to match up pinouts). Argh! So a warning : Devices are sometimes removed from this equivalents list. You need to check all of them to see if it's listed anywhere. -tony
