Yes [it is a 6800 is both cases] and no [they are not identical for io 
or memory maps].  Depends on the IO and where the program runs in memory
as they have slightly different memeory maps.  Also if memory serves
the 680 used a differnt monitor program than SWTP so any program that
uses the monitor for IO or other routines are iffy.
