Amiga Bugs
Had to do a lot of (6502-like) LDA ABS,X , where the X register was very
variable. On the 6809 had to do a lot of ABX stuff to accomplish the same.
Maybe I was stupid…chose the 6809 on general recomendation to do a particular
app that it turned out was inapropriate. Took a look recently at the 6809
book. For many stand-alone things the 6809 is really handy (being able to
change Page Zero is nice), But for the app I was doing, the 6809 was slower
(fetching prebyte/postbytes) and missed a needed address mode.
Thew fact that I hated the application that I contracted to do might have
colered my view, but I could have done it on a fast 6500/11.
After looking at a 6809 book recently, I must admit, that for certain systems
(rather than applications) the 6809 is the preferred machine.
