6809 for the win over both, by far!
- jejones3141 11y agoAmen to that. Alas, I'm not aware of it still being made, though there are FPGA implementations. (And look up "CoCo on a Chip"; it's a project to recreate and eventually enhance the Tandy Color Computer on an FPGA.

[Link to irrelevant part removed, thanks tacos]
- tacos 11y agoDoesn't seem to be in production yet. The part numbers you reference are SOT23-3 voltage regulators.
- cmrdporcupine 11y agoYep if only the 6309 or 6809 was still being made. Beautiful processor.
