of course, if Mot stopped making all of those 680?0 processors compatible with
the 6800, I guess that you might have an argument.  What is that I hear you
say?  The 68000 isn't compatible with the 6800?  Gee, I guess Intel will
just have to call back all the 80?86s that run 8080 code, which is exactly
0 of them.  Blah, blah, blah...Now NEC seems to have picked up the ball by
making their V20 and V30 run 8080 code in addition to the 8086 code, if
that is what you really want...

...and they whisper and they chatter, but it really doesn't matter.
