- A 68705's are members of a very large family of microcontrollers (though not
- quite as bad as all the variants of the 8051 family) based on the 6805 base
- from Motorola. As far as capabilities, it's about halfway between a 6800 and
- a 6809 as I recall. 6800 and 6809 being members of Motorola's hybrid 8/16 bit
- families.
