I believe that
was true of the 6809. Somewhere there was published
an interview (BYTE, probably) with a member of the design team where
he mentions this.
Well, that article is/was on-line. I saw it one month ago.
I remember reading the original article in Byte. I learned assembler on the 6800 via the
_excellent_ Heathkit ET-3400 course and trainer and loved the 6800's simple, clear
architecture
and instruction set. The '09 was the ultimate evolution of a great CPU.
