Welllllll, Hitachi makes a pin & instruction compatible 6809 replacement (6309) that runs at 4MHZ, but it
would require a partial rewrite of the firmware. (I'm not sure if it is the exact same model as the 6809 (B vs E) though).

Additionally, there is another mode in the 6309 that has a few "extra" instructions which enable some operations
to be even faster. But this would cause more of an incompatibility until the FW is re-written.

However, if any of you are tired of the Xpander/M12's current limitations, a challenge awaits ye.... ;-)

Use the machine for what it can do excellent and use other gear for the tasks where Xpander/M12 fail.

But I heard that the xpander's processor acts quicker if less routings are enabled.
It's logical cause the processor is so vintage.
I even saw somebody wrote that applying one envelope a several times to the same destenation helps.
But I tried this and did not noticed a quicker responce.
