[Coco] [Color Computer] Building an embedded OS9 system from CoCo OS9

[John R. Hogerhuis]

I have back issues (that's all there are anymore) of The Computer
Journal that described the Scroungemaster II board that was based on one
or two 6809 CPUs.

Another nice thing is in a series of articles Brad Rodriguez also
created a ANS Forth for this board (the Forth is downloadable online).

I can look for the article if you like.

OS-9 isn't the only choice for 6809 based embedded systems... you could
just have a monolithic system in assembly, you could have a Forth
system... and there's FLEX.
