Just as an off-topic diversion from a subject that I don't think is actually
off-topic, here are a
number of die photos including some from the AMD 29xx and 29xxx series and others:

New subject: 3rd source 6809??? (Was: 2901 OT
Rumor has it that William Blair may have mentioned these words:

As I scroll thru the list, drooling over the sweet pictures... I come
across a chip called:
Atmel EF6809CV CPU
I never knew Atmel also sourced the 6809... I wonder if they used any of
that IP for future processors... and if they could be talked into making
more! ;-)

You want the 6309 a better 6809 clone. I think that is the number.
It was claimed buggy but that was it was because un-used 6809 opcodes
where used in software that was defined in the 6309.

..no need to consider it off-topic, a lot of the photos in there are of old
chips, including an 8080 and 1802.
One of the links on that page,
http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~mgr/404/burks/pcinfo/hardware/cpu.htm, presents
an interesting overview of microprocs from 70/80/90's, both well-known and
lesser-known ones, far more than just a timeline.

All my 2901's will have a die, some plastic and 40 little bug legs...

Stomp that bug !!! Give TTL a good death. :)

They even show the die in the data books getting smaller and faster.
