[Coco] OT: 63B09

[Louis Ciotti]

The processor is not for the COCO.  I am debugging a radio controller that has a 63B09P in it.  I found a ?NTE6809 which has the exact same 
Pinout, but the crystal does not oscillate when I insert it into the MCU socket, but The old one does.  I am wondering if this means the NTE6809 is DOA.  It was NOS in the bag when I got it.  

I need to know if the problem is a compatibility issue between the NTE6809 and the HD63B09P or is it just that the NTE6809 is bad.

I don't have any persoal experience with MCUs of this vintage, and since the COCO uses a similar MCU I thought I would ask here.

For the coco, you need to one with the xxx09E designation, indicating it 

uses an external clock and crystal.
