Summary 06797: MC6809 incorrectly handling opcode 0x104F
Description On a real m6809 CPU if you run a opcode of 0x104F the real 6809 will ignore the 0x10 opcode part of the instruction and will process the opcode of 0x4F which on a m6809 is a CLRA.

Please test on coco3, coco1, coco2.
Steps To Reproduce Created a test assembly language program to load register D with $FFFF, then issue a 6309 instruction CLRD, then after that writing register A and register B to specific memory locations and using basic to peek and print the values should yield a 0 for A and 255 for B, but the m6809 core in MAME ignores both bytes of the CLRD where it should have only ignored the 0x10.

I am including a DSK image for testing.

Steps once disk image is mounted in drive 0:

LOAD"6309.BAS"
RUN
On real CoCo 1, 2, 3 with a real m6809 in it the outputs as follows:
0
255

On emulator outputs:
255
255
Additional Information So the 6309 instruction CLRD (0x104F) the (0x10) is ignored on a real m6809 CPU and thus it still processes the (0x4F) part of the instruction and does a CLRA.

I have tested this on a system that does in fact have a real m6809 on it and thus I know in this case how the emulation for the m6809 is not handling this situation correctly.

Here is the assembly file used on my test:

     ORG $7000
BEGIN JMP START
     FDB DONE-BEGIN
BYT1 RMB 1
BYT2 RMB 1
START EQU *
          LDD #$FFFF
          CLRD
          STA BYT1
          STB BYT2
          RTS
DONE EQU *
          END BEGIN

Here is the basic program that loads the binary off of the disk image that executes the program and then displays the memory locations from the binary:
10 CLEAR 200,&H7000
20 CLS
30 LOADM"6309.BIN"
40 EXEC &H7000
50 PRINT PEEK(&H7005)
60 PRINT PEEK(&H7006)
70 END

Ok so I created a quick patch for m6809.ops file to look for this condition and do what a real m6809 would do in this case. Here is the diff file in both file format and text so could be easily read here.

Have you experimented with other page 2 and 3 opcodes that are undefined? Do they all revert to their page 1 behavior?

This bug's files should be changed to the 6809 CPU core.

A detailed study of the undefined / undocumented behavior has been published on the 6809: https://github.com/hoglet67/6809Decoder/wiki/Undocumented-6809-Behaviours
