I have that same memory Art. Never developed any interest in it however
since my first experience at writing code was for a pair of Z-80
MicroProfessor boards one of which turned out to have a broken Z-80 on it
that they wouldn't replace. Plumb spoilt any taste I might have had for a
cpu whose conditional branch architecture I would call broken only in my
kindest moments.
But I hadn't met the 6809 yet, that was in 1981. The 6809, when I did meet
it in about 1985, was a breath of fresh spring air. Then when the 6309 was
discovered, things got even better.
Cheers, Gene
