Yes, a 2MHz 6809 really could do a lot, relatively speaking.
It was always one of the higher priorities on the "wish list"

Oh, and you're wrong. ;-) If you have a
compact flash and/or hard
drive bigger than 82Meg, you can have 255 virtual floppies for RS-DOS,
and an OS-9 partition above that. [[ I keep my (slowly growing)
collection of RS-DOS kids games on drives 10-19. ;-) ]]
What I really would have liked back then was a REAL 2 MHZ 6809
machine. If BYTE and other magizines had pushed SWTP's and 6800/6809
products where whould computing be today. I expect a real OS that worked.
A real modular video-sound system and who knows what.
