	I have tried to reply to the person asking about fast
6809 procesors,  no luck :-)  So ...

	When I say 3MHz, I mean 3MHz for the E clock time.

	I have used the Hitachi 63C90E (3MHz). They also have
peripherals such as 63B21 (3MHz), yes a different letter for 3MHz!
I have used these chips in a home-brew system using a 6551a acia,
with NO serial dropouts, (250ns access time, using E or'ed with Q for
VMA).  Oh, by the way it runs FORTH & really screams.
