Methinks that if it could have been ready on time it would have taken off
and most all of us 6309-CoCo 3 users would have been using them.  They where
delayed worse than the MM/1 was, it seems.  In fact, Frank & Gang went from
hearing about the MM/1, to designing and selling the TC-70 before the TC9
was workin'.  It would have been a good thing.  Recally the TC9 was going to
use the 6309 at 3mhz, but they couldn't get timing working.  If only we had
known about the native mode back then!  Plus, with the REAL hardware on the
TC9 it would have done I/O so much better.  Pity.  I'd still love to have
gotten one - but when the first batch was ready, I was broke.  Sigh.
