Hey guys, I'm really not that far behind...

The main thing I'm lacking is a 6809 core atm... as you can see the TRS-80 
and basic Apple II were pretty trivial, I'm not expecting the Coco1 to be 
any more complex. My colleague and I are looking at producing a PCB next 
year that will handle all the retro 8-bit computers, as well as plenty of 
arcade games. All this to run with a PS/2 keyboard/mouse and output to VGA, 
composite video and arcade RGB. I'm also currently working on emulating the 
TRS-80 disk drives from serial flash - at least as a prototype.

Anyway, it's interesting times indeed!

Regards,
