[Coco] Future of the CoCo and the 6309

[Fedor Steeman]

How many 6309 CPUs are there still left? I know Cloud-9 must have a
stockpile, but are there more besides those? Is there the tiniest chance
they will be manufactured again? Can they be cloned? Does Hitachi still have
the blueprints? How difficult is it to design a CPU like that from scratch?
Can programmable chips be made to mimic the 6309?

Just a few thoughts that have been circling through my mind this morning.
