63x09E
Speed, Power
and Performance
The Hitachi 63x09E is a direct pin-for-pin replacement for the 6809E
found in all Color Computers. Besides being a CMOS chip, which runs much
cooler than the 6809E, the Hitachi 63x09E also contains an enhanced
instruction set and additional CPU registers that bring significant
performance beyond what a 6809 can provide.
When ordering your 63x09E, consider adding the Pro-Tector+ to your
order. It will insure that your CPU is given added protection from bus spikes
(soldering required).
Standard Features
- 100% compatible with all Color Computers
- Low power CMOS chip runs much cooler than the 6809E
- Extends the 6809 instruction set with powerful
instructions
Installation Is Necessary
Virtually all Color Computers have their 6809 CPU soldered to the
motherboard. Therefore, desoldering the CPU is
necessary. If you are in doubt as to your ability to accomplish this, then do
not attempt the procedure. It is very delicate and can damage your CoCo motherboard if you aren't careful. Cloud-9 can do
this for you for a reasonable fee.
