[Coco] 6 Chip ^809 Computer -> Kipper SBC

[Aaron Wolfe]

ROM would be the only convenient way I can imagine.  Doesnt need to be a
full implementation of dw in ROM, just the bare minimum for either an
operating system bootstrap or a rom based monitor console.  Both have been
written for the coco in the past.
