[Coco] [OT] Z80 still being used in modern electronics

[coco at yourdvd.net]

This is true, I've seen several cores for the 6809 but they tend to be
expensive. I would love to see a cycle accurate 6809 show up on
opencores. There is an incarnation of the 6809 there with additional
features, but not cycle accurate, I don't think. Still, it's nice to
play with :-) -r
