You might like to know that the Psion Organiser series of handhelds
uses the Hitachi 6303X processor which is compatible with the Motorola
6800.  At some point I hope to do some assembly/machine coding on my
Psion Organiser.  The 6809 has several extra features such as hardware
multiply and other goodies.  It's quite powerful, perhaps one of the
most powerful 8 bit processors of the time.  A sophisticated real time
operating system call OS/9 was developed for the processor and is still
in use.  Check out comp.os.os9.
