What about the 6800/09? It was at least technicly superior to many
other chips available at the time, and just as good as the rest. Why
was it so rarely used? I've noticed many early 680x computers used the
realitively poor 6847's b&w predecessor. did that have something to do
with it? or was ti just too expensive? or too late?

Can't blame the 6809s alone. Commodore made a clone of the 6845, calledthe 6545, and used it in the later PET/CBMs (4032, 8032, etc.)


-uso.
