Hi Hans
Then you'll love the Z8000. Its segments are non-overlapping
( unless a mmu makes them so ).
I like the 186 myself but have to admit that the time for
segmented memory has passed, in general purpose computing.

Yet for all practical purposes you only have a few
segments so almost any MMU on a 16 bit processer works:
user code, user data , os code , os data , video buffer.

PS Is the 6809 a 8 or a 16 bit CPU?
