Torsten:

Here's a link I got off of Slashdot about the Apple 1 
replica:

This to me looks like another alternative for the CoCo 
Comminity.  If someone can build a 6502 clone, then 
somoeone with the right tools, time, and skill could build 
a 6809 CoCo clone that can be installed in a older PC.

Again just my $0.02.
