Compatible with the 6809, it added two new eight-bit ef="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=registers">registers that could be added to form a second 16-bit register, and all four eight-bit registers could form a 32-bit register. It also featured division, and some 32-bit arithmetic and was generally 30% faster in native mode.
