I believe the Williams 'Defender' video game has a 6809E on board.
(It's been a couple of years since I looked at the schematic, though,
so I could be mistaken.)  Even so, I'd recommend the 680X0, just so you
can run operating systems other than OS-9.  Rumor has it that there's a
68000 port on the Apple extended memory card, but I haven't heard about
anybody doing anything with it.  Good luck.
