The 6809 only has a 16-bit address bus, and even the severely crippeled 8088 can address a megabyte (insert fear and loathing about just _how_). Now, if Motorola had built an ARM v2 instead of the 68000 (entirely possible at that timeframe, it had far fewer transistors, and much higher performance) history might have been different. > >> and the future of the personal computer market was read >> horribly incorrectly by IBM (and DEC, and almost every key >> player at that time). > > Yep.
