Thanks for sharing that.  I believe its important to our small community
that nuggets of helpful info are free and open.  So from the little I
understand of hardware, it looks as if ISA busses have a separate read and
write lines, where the m6809 has one?

All nice features.  Not sure about a coco router, though, I'm guessing the
code for such would actually be easier than a full tcp/ip stack :)
