  • Is this a 6809 card for Apple II ?

    From Ernest@leucoplast@seanet.NOSPAM.com to comp.sys.apple2 on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 05:32:52

    I saw this on Ebay Germany. I haven't seen a 6809 card the Apple II before.
    Is that what this is?

    Yes--by its looks, it's a 64KB 6809 card, similar to an Applicard Z80 card.

    Hear, hear! "Built like a tank" is an often-used hyperbole, but in the
    case of the Basis 108, it's simply true. ;-)

    Gawd but you got THAT right! We've got one of those "tanks" sitting in
    the garage. They worth anything to anyone?

    card.

    By that, I assume you mean that it would allow you to run software designed
    for the 6809, like Tandy's 0S/9? Or was it meant to be used for developing software for the 6809, like the 68000 card? Would OS/9 run on this card, if
    you could transfer the OS to an Apple II floppy disk?

    I had a 6809 card like this from a company in the southwest US. It came
    with a p-code interpreter and assembler written in 6809 assembly. At the
    same clock speed it was 5-20% faster than the 6502. It sped up Apple's
    UCSD p-System et al. enough to make it appealing. I still have the A/O
    6809 assembly language book by lance Leventhal.

    Of course, there were two 6809 boards (and I once saw a clone of
    one of them). One was real simple, with not much beyond the 6809,
    so it would be like the original Z80 card. The other one was fancier,
    and included memory so it could obviously do fancier things.

    I think it was the latter that had the fancier software.

    As I know, Legend sold Apple PASCAL accelerator package.
    It includes 6809 card, memory card and software.
