But only just.
Interesting- the 68000 should remind you of the PDP-11. What would
become the 68K (remember it was a skunk works project and not an
official one), was a definite reaction to the 6800/6809 not being good
enough (single accumulator system; not general registers). As someone
that cut his teeth with the 6502 (and 6800) at the same time as I
learned the 11, I never considered them similar.
Yeah. I don't understand that comment either. Nothing could be further
from the PDP-11 than the 6502 or a 6800. (Well, maybe some things are
further, but there pretty much no similarity between the PDP-11 and 6502
or 6800. The 68000 on the other hand is clearly inspired by the PDP-11.)
