Ha! Okay, can I bit?
It's kind of an unfair comparison as the 6809 is really a 16-bit machine on an
8-bit bus. Take out those 16-bit structures and you're pretty much left with a
6502 -- the most elegant processor of all time, I think.
My first published article was in "Byte" in 1979: "Relative Subroutines for
the Z-80", emulating the 6502's behavior.
Now give a Z-80 a 16-bit internal structure...
No, don't answer me! :) :)
