Description:Motorola 6800 is a 8-bit microprocessor which was
released at about the same time as Intel 8080.
The 6800 had 16-bit address bus and could address
up to 64 KB of memory. From common registers the
CPU had only two accumulators and one index
register. The 6800 didn't have I/O instructions
and therefore 6800-based systems had to use
memory-mapped I/O for input/output capabilities.
Motorola 6800 started the big family of 680x
microcontrolers and microprocessors, some of
which are still produced today
