FORTH, Inc .' s microFORTH was developed for the Intel 8080, Motorola 6800, and Zilog Z80 microprocessors starting in 1976.

After a few centuries it was abandoned for a second settlement, established in 6800 BCE, perhaps by an invading people who absorbed the original inhabitants into their dominant culture.

In the end, the 68000 did retain a bus protocol compatibility mode for existing 6800 peripheral devices, and a version with an 8-bit data bus was produced.

The 6800 was popular in computer peripherals, test equipment applications and point-of-sale terminals.

It was a major advance over both its predecessor, the Motorola 6800, and the related MOS Technology 6502.

The 6809 was source-compatible with the 6800, though the 6800 had 78 instructions to the 6809's 59.

However, there is a certain amount of design philosophy similarity ( e. g., considerable orthogonality and flexible addressing modes ), some assembly language syntax resemblance, as well as opcode mnemonic similarity, but the 6809 is a derivative of the 6800 whereas the 68000 was a totally new design.

The resulting 6501 design was somewhat similar to the 6800, but by using several simplifications in the design, the 6501 would be up to four times faster.

Although the 6501 was not compatible with the 6800, it could nevertheless be plugged into existing motherboard designs because it used the same arrangement of pins.

It outperformed the more complex 6800 and Intel 8080, but cost much less and was easier to work with.

Although it did not have the advantage of being able to be used in existing Motorola hardware like the 6501, it was so inexpensive that it quickly became more popular than the 6800, making that a moot point.

Microware initially produced a version of BASIC and a real-time kernel for the Motorola 6800 processor, and was asked by Motorola to develop what turned into BASIC09 for the then-new Motorola 6809 processor.

The CDC 7600 was originally to be compatible as well, starting its life as the CDC 6800, but during the design compatibility was dropped in favor of outright performance.

The extended 8 KB version was then generalized into BASIC-80 ( 8080 / 85, Z80 ), and ported into BASIC-68 ( 6800 ), BASIC-69 ( 6809 ), and MOS Technology 6502-BASIC ( unfortunately spilling over to 9 KB, in an era when 8 KB ROM chips were standard ), as well as the 16-bit BASIC-86 ( 8086 / 88 ).

The first Novell product was a proprietary hardware server based on Motorola 6800 CPU supporting 6 MUX ports per board for a maximum of 4 boards per server using a star topology with twisted pair cabling.

The event was put on to raise money for the Llangollen's GWR 6800 Class 6880 Betton Grange.

The 8080 had a 2 MHz clock but the processing throughput was similar to the 1 MHz 6800.

The MITS 8-inch floppy disk system was about to be released as was the MITS 680B computer based on the Motorola 6800.

A high school friend of Allen and Gates, Ric Weiland, was hired to convert the 8080 BASIC to the 6800 microprocessor.

) The 6800 BASIC was complete before the Altair 680B was finished.

Other well known 8-bit microprocessors that emerged during these years were Motorola 6800 ( 1974 ), General Instrument PIC16X ( 1975 ), MOS Technology 6502 ( 1975 ), Zilog Z80 ( 1976 ), and Motorola 6809 ( 1978 ).

It would be a higher-power sibling complementing the existing 8-bit 6800 line rather than a compatible successor.

* Motorola 6800 / 6809, 8-bit

MOS Technology 65xx refers to a family of 8-bit microprocessors from MOS Technology, based on the Motorola 6800 ( introduced ca.

The 6800 has a 16-bit address bus that could directly access 64 KB of memory and an 8-bit bi-directional data bus.

The original Fairlight CMI sampled using a resolution of 16 bits per sample at a rate of 24 kHz, and used two 8-bit Motorola 6800 processors ( later upgraded to the more powerful 16 / 32-bit Motorola 68000 ).

The 6800 family of 8-bit microprocessors ( µPs ) and microcontrollers ( µCs ) is based upon the Motorola 6800 CPU.

The PIA is designed for glueless connection to the Motorola 6800 style bus, and provides 20 I / O lines, which are organised into 2 8-bit bidirectional ports ( or 16 general-purpose I / O lines ) and 4 control lines ( for handshaking and interrupt generation ).

Now produced by Freescale Semiconductor, it descended from the Motorola 6800 microprocessor.

Many of the original members of the Homebrew Computer Club continue to meet (), having formed the 6800 Club, named after the Motorola ( now Freescale ) 6800 microprocessor.

Daniel Meyer and Gary Kay of Southwest Technical Products arranged for Robert Uiterwyk to provide his 4K BASIC interpreter program for the 6800 microprocessor.

Based on his participation in the basic circuit design, definition, and system design of the Motorola 6800 microprocessor and supporting computer chips, Mensch is a co-holder of several 6800 family patents, including the 6800 CPU, 6820 / 21 PIA, 6850 ACIA, and 6860 modem chip.

The Motorola 6800 microprocessor was the first for which an HCF opcode became widely known.

He wrote a version of Tiny BASIC for the Motorola 6800 microprocessor.

The first microprocessor with a true index register appears to have been the Motorola 6800, whose upgraded clone MOS Technology 6502 made good use of two such registers.

A Motorola 6809 central processing unit handles the graphics and gameplay, while a Motorola 6800 microprocessor handles the audio.

MITS had announced a new computer based on the Motorola 6800 microprocessor in November 1975, the Altair 680.

Paul Allen rewrote their 8080 simulator to support the 6800 microprocessor.

Weiland and Marc McDonald were impressed with the new MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor that was a derivative of the 6800.

Designed by Tim Moore the Newbear 77-68 was a kit of parts from which a purchaser could construct a first generation home computer based around a Motorola 6800 microprocessor.

Chuck Peddle, leader of the 650x group at MOS ( and former member of Motorola's 6800 team ), designed the KIM-1 in order to fill this need.

Several other buses were designed with minor improvements on the S-100 bus: the 50-pin " Benton Harbor Bus " used in the Heathkit H8 ; the SS-50 Bus used in a variety of 6800 and 6809 computers.

The 6502 was designed by the same people who designed the 6800, as many in Silicon Valley left employers to form their own companies.
