- The II, 16, and 6000 all used the 68000. They were meant for business use.
- You could buy all sorts of "business" hardware, such as a hard disk unit that
- used 8" hard disks.
-
- The Color Computers all used the 6809 or some variant (68B09).
- The portables (Model 100, 102, 200) used a cmos 8085, the 600
- used a cmos 8088.
