Bill,

I think that is a CMOS chip, and as such may not have enough oomph to drive
the circuits connected to it in the Atari 1200XL, which are TTL.

I think the R means it is a Rockwell chip.

A more interesting question would be whether the 65802 chip from The Western
Design Center, Inc., would drop in and work!  This would give us 6809-like
power with upward compatibility, if what I have heard is true.  Does anybody
know if this would work?
