[Coco] 6809 still being used in modern electronics

There's a decent timeline of several of these processors at

I believe the progression was 

MC6800 ==> MC6801/3  ==> MC6811 ==> MC68HC11 ==> HC12
MC6800 ==> MC6809 and then this branch dies here. 

The MC6800 gave birth to two lines, the MC6809 and then a linage that 
progressed to the MC6801/3 and then to the MC6811/MC68HC11. 

The MC68HC11 linage does incorparate the same basic instruction core logic
that 
was the MC6800. The MC6811/HC11 does incorparate a feature that first was 
used on the MC6809. That is the instruction modifier feature. On the MC6809
that 
byte is $01 and $10. Often called the "instrruction prebyte" For the HC11
the 
instruction modifier bytes are $18, $1A and $CD. Also the MC6801/3 has an 
expanded programming model from its predicessor the MC6800. It also
integrates  
the first sets of functions that are later expanded in the HC11 series.
