#6809


a cool looking media centre(?) (i love these things and i find them super cool. if i wasnt sorting out a move i would buy one now)
apple 2 clone called "banana" (genuinely looks super cool, if i were smarter i would love to fix it up. apparently from thailand? friend found a news report on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFjGq55BglM )
radioshack TRS-80 (very cool! almost bought it but then i realised that i don't actually have any use for one, nor any of these other computers, seems to be one with a keyboard that doesn't suck!)
a uniboard 6809 "computer" and "keyboard" (don't know what this thing is, some kind of hobbyist computer based around the 6809, which was also used in the TRS-80... did this belong to someone who made programs or even games on these systems?)



Motorola has done some fairly interesting things in the world of computing history, despite being overshadowed by Zilog and MOS in the 8-bit era. Their 68000 CPU line is obviously one of my all-time favorites, powering many iconic computers from the mid-80s onwards. However in this episode, we will be looking at a somewhat obscure yet highly impactful thing they made that shaped quite a bit of historical systems. And that is the, uhm... the data sheet for the Motorola MC6883 Synchronous Address Multiplexer.

I swear this is more interesting than it sounds.
