Apollo 7's SQUALE

A rare machine from France, based on 6809 and with 32k set aside for video:

Only 10 produced? All with metal cases because plastic was for the high volume production which never happened?

Here’s a modern demo for the machine, by MO5 (who seem to have a museum and a magazine):

Amazing! A really rare machine, with an uncommon set of chips. The 6809 isn’t the most unused micro but it has been a kind of exclusive micro that was not selected by the major companies.
I have some 6809s that are waiting for me, I’m really tempted to try to build a Vectrex reproduction but you know, I’m fighting with the defects of the Monroe machine that I’m repairing.
