- motorola 6800 — (processor) A microprocessor released shortly after the Intel 8080, in about 1975. It had 78 instructions, including the undocumented HCF (Halt and Catch Fire) bus test instruction. The 6800 evolved into the Motorola 6801 and 6803. The 6502 was based on the design of the 6800 but had one less data register and one more index register.
- motorola 6801 — (processor) (And 6803) A version of the Motorola 6800 with ROM, some RAM, a serial I/O port and other functions on the chip. It was meant for embedded controllers, where the part count was to be minimised. The 6803 led to the 68HC11 and that was extended to 16 bits as the 68HC16.
- motorola 6809 — (processor) (MC6809) An eight-bit microprocessor from Motorola, Inc.. The 6809 was a major advance over both its predecessor, the Motorola 6800 and the 6502. The 6809 had two 8-bit accumulators, rather than one in the 6502, and could combine them into a single 16-bit register. It also featured two index registers and two stack pointers, which allowed for some very advanced addressing modes. The 6809 was source compatible with the 6800, even though the 6800 had 78 instructions and the 6809 only had around 59 (including a SEX instruction). Some instructions were replaced by more general ones which the assembler would translate and some were replaced by addressing modes. The 6809 had one of the first multiplication instructions of the time, 16-bit arithmetic and a special fast interrupt. But it was also highly optimised, gaining up to five times the speed of the 6800 series CPU. Like the 6800, it included the undocumented HCF (Halt and Catch Fire) bus test instruction. The Hitachi 6309 was a version with extra registers. The 6809 was used in the UK "Dragon 32" personal computer and was followed by the Motorola 68000. Lennart Benschop <[email protected]> posted a emulator (originally called "usim") and a cross-assembler to Usenet newsgroup alt.sources on 1993-11-03. Ray P. Bellis <[email protected]> released a version 0.11.
