It was a failure because MITS as per their style had a nifty box that
not SS50. By that time SWTP and others had accepted SS50 as the bus for
6800 and later 6809 systems.

The 680 however was without question industrial strength but it's bus
was totally unique to the 680, that type of this was VERY unpopular
concept back then.
