The 6809 stuff was all before the days of version control. When we moved out of the Microware building, we tried to save various items of historical interest. This is how I came to posses one of the original Radio Shack Color Computer 3 prototypes. But, the machine that held the 6809 sources was long lost -- I recall seeing it, missing a hard drive, and Boisy has previously posted that the machine was used for target practice after that.

So it may exist on a tape backup or random floppy disks, but if so, it hasn't turned up. I saved a big box of floppies and we had them read (as many as possible) but I don't think we found any of the 6809 stuff.
