Aw, that's sad to hear.

In retrospect Motorola's 6809 (and then the 6309) probably did the best job of adding 16-bit (and even 32-bit) support to their register set. If they had taken it further and added a 24 or 32 bit address bus, that would have been nifty.

I believe the Acorn Atom nearly used the 6809 CPU. (Vague recollections from a very long time ago).
