Only if you are having problems with heat.

Yes

Bill and I did patch Flight Sim II to make it much more multitasking/IRQ friendly,using some 6309 code , for NitrOS-9. Roger Taylor made a special version of his game Spider-Hype (called Spider-Hyper) that added a 3rd chamber on the screen that required a 6309, and Sock Master's Donkey Kong port will slightly speed up on a 6309 system by using the 6309's native mode (as will all OS-9 games if you are running under NitrOS-9). Maybe then programming challenge for CocoFest next year should be to make a game to show off the 6309. :-)
