Now I *LIKE* that idea ! I would imagine that with 6809 code being 
generally more efficient than 6502, it could cirtainly be done, no I'm 
not volunterring to do it :)

It would be actually 2 things, re-writing the MOS rom, and then 
re-writing the Basic rom, that is alas 32K of code to re-write :(

On the other hand disn't someone produce a 6809 2nd processor for the 
BBC, that cirtainly should be capable of running Nitros.

Phill.
