[Coco] *WTH!?* iniCPU: A modern 6809-compatible CPU !!

[farna at att.net]

Got to the main page (http://www.inicore.com/core_lib/inicpu.htm), then scroll down to the data sheets. The first one shows all the interrupts and registers -- which may help some of you programmer types figure out how compatible it is. On the second sheet (Optimized for Actel FPGA, Product Brief) it says this:

Applications
• Obsolete 6809 replacement
• Enhanced 6809 systems
• 8-bit System-on-Chip

If it's a 6089 replacement, it should be compatible. The sheets also mention enhancements. I wonder if it's compatible with the 6309 as well? Isn't there software that emulates an FPGA for testing purposes??

With the source, of course!

I'm guessing you all realise that this is a soft core, to be targeted to an 
FPGA/ASIC and that you can't buy the silicon?!?
