Where 6800 fits
Why 6800 is special
Engineers who left Motorola after the 6800 went on to design the 6502, which undercut it dramatically on price. The 6800's descendants nonetheless run in vast numbers as embedded controllers.

6 × 1,000 + 8 × 100 = 6,800. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Related numbers & connections
Motorola's 6800 and the 6510 in the Commodore 64 descend from the same rivalry: engineers left Motorola after the 6800 and produced the 6502, which the 6510 extends.
View 6510 →Technology & computing
Chuck Peddle and colleagues left Motorola after the 6800 and produced the 6502 at a fraction of the price. The 6800 line survived in embedded control while the 6502 took the home computer market.
