Really a fascinating CPU, a 8/16 bit hybrid,

"Unfortunately neither Motorola nor Hitachi produce 6809 processors or
derivatives anymore, despite the fact that it must be said to have been one of
the most powerful general-purpose 8-bit CPU ever designed. Somewhat ahead of its
time, it had many innovative features several of which were copied and used in
other designs later."

May be Usurpator II runs on a fast PC with 6809 emulator!
