The 6809 is the penultimate expression of the 6xxx form, finally culminating in the 68HC11 (which many of you probably have in your basement in one form or another). It was a true joy to code.

It's a pity that just enough of the grotesque zombie once known as Motorola survived to become a troll and prevent 6809 cores from taking over entirely. The 6502 (created by Moto's incompetence) was highly Muntzed, however the modern WDC 6502 clones actually have more transistors that the 6809 did.

You could probably stuff something like 100,000 of these cores on an epyc threadripper die(s). That would be something to see... kickstarter anyone?
