That setup will run no faster than one 6309, unless you rewrite the OS to 
handle multiprocessors. 

Nice idea of using multiple processors. Currently there is no OS to support 
multiple 6x09 processors that I know of.  If one did exist then  splitting taks 
up between them would be nice. 

Then I could put three 6809 cores into one 1 million gate FPGA and  have a 
real nice system running at about 20 MHz to 30 MHz.
