 I asked ... "Is this the one that will work with Nitros9?"
 In my head(Can't you read my mind?) I was asking..

 "Is this the enhanced version from Hitachi or is it a true clone of the
6809 from mtrla?"

 I put this chip on this CC3 board several years ago(before we knew about
the 6309 enhancements).
 I have enough of these CPUs  to do all my cocos. If they are truly the
enhanced version from Hitachi, I will replace the mtrla chips as time
passes, and upgrade to Nitros9 on each one..... as soon as I figure out how
to do that.
