My favourite model was the 6809E which was the best available 68xx and supported external clock (the E is for that reason). Motorola 68xx was an 8bit CPU family with the possibility to combine 8bit registers to have 16bit ones and a reduced ISA to recall almost RISC technology that would have come later on the scene. Thomson 8bit computers have been legendary between the 80s till beginning of the 90s in France and Italy and they were all powered by one of the most amazing and popular 8bit CPU of the time the Motorola 68 chip, a CPU that was really advanced. The first Vintage System emulator we are going to learn how to install and use is dcmoto, a fantastic Thomson old 8bit computers emulator.
