Hitachi 63x09E
Speed,
Power and Performance
The Hitachi 63x09E is a direct pin-for-pin replacement for the 6809E
found in all Color Computers. Besides being a CMOS chip, which runs much
cooler than the 6809E, the Hitachi 63x09E also contains an enhanced
instruction set and additional CPU registers that bring significant
performance beyond what a 6809 can provide.
When ordering your 63x09E, consider adding the Pro-Tector+ to your order. It will insure that
your CPU is given added protection from bus spikes (soldering required).

Installation
Is Necessary
Virtually all Color Computers have their 6809 CPU soldered to the
motherboard. Therefore, desoldering the CPU is necessary. If you are in
doubt as to your ability to accomplish this, then do not attempt the
procedure. It is very delicate and can damage your CoCo motherboard if you
aren't careful. Cloud-9 can do this for you for a reasonable fee.
