[coco] 6309 speed

[jdaggett at gate.net]

The CMOS process that the 6309 was most likely done on is prior to 
high speed or HCMOS days. Outside a potentential die shrink 
during production, I doubt much other changed. 

Most likely done on 9V or 11V CMOS and at 5 VDC, I doubt the 
speed can exceed much beyond 5 MHZ or so. Then that will need 
proper heat sinking. The main problem in heat is the actual plastic 
dip package itself. Plastic is not a great conductor of heat.
