[Coco] Michael Kline: Let me introduce myself...

[Bruce W. Calkins]

Native mode?  The 6309 works just like a 6809, until it encounters 6309 
only instructions.  I don't recall that NitrOS9 for the CoCo 2 used 
those improvements much if at all.  NitrOS9 for the CoCo 3 has a 
separate version for the 6309 that uses the extra capabilities well. 
There is little Disk Basic (RS-DOS) programing that uses the 6309's 
improvements.
