[Coco] Adapting a V9958 64-pin Chip to fit a Solderless Breadboard

[Kip Koon]

Daniel,
I'd love to send you all pics, but emails must be short.  As soon as I have
a web site, I will send out a link to it.  I am still in the middle of
building this project.  BTW, this is a real project.  My dreams of building
my own 6809 based computer system is slowly becoming a reality.  I love it
when a plan comes together.  Happy 6809ing!
Kip
