Right - the Pet had a 6502. The Super-Pet added a 6809 as an I/O
processor (which just tells you that some people should _not_ be
allowed to design hardware). The OS/9 ran on that.

And a CoCo running OS/9 is still my second-choice home computer, right
behind the Amiga 1000. All the good software features, and a better
Unix-alike at the syscall level. Just not as much hardware. But the
new versions let you use a 6829 to get 256K (or some such) in it.
