[Coco] Are MC68B09E's and HM63C09E's as well as various support chips still available?

Hi James & Computer Doc,
I am working on updating the FPGA 6809 design to include 6309 instructions.
I have bursts of enthusiasm from time to time and then I'm distracted by
other things.
As I mentioned on the list before, I have a 6809 SoC on the XESS XuLA
board, which is a 200K gate FPGA.
It includes the CPU, PS/2 keyboard interface, serial port & text VDU as
well as a monitor ROM.
It has 1MB of RAM with Dynamic Address Translation.
It's a very tight fit in the FPGA. I'm not sure the 6309 design would fit.
I might write later. I have had a friend call in.
John.
