Re: second processor on a II:How?

: cares if the 6502 resets when you leave your 6809.  Anyway, your 6809
: won't tell you when its not using the buses, like a Z80 does (with
: individual read and write lines, and dynamic refresh lines.)

	Actually, the 6809 BA line is high when the processor busses are
tristated. Plus, they are inactive in the first half cycle like the 6502.
But I don't really care if the registers are saved. I can do it manually if
needed.
 
: Hmmm...  I would have considered a 68HC11 a much more interesting play
: thing, but each to his own...

	I know a lot more about the 6809 than the HC11, but I'll grant you
that what I do know about it leads me to agree with you. If I get ahold of
one, I'll do so. The HC11 is software compatible to a 6809, no?
