6809 Hackers of the World, Unite!!!!  CoCo people want an FPGA 6809?
I believe the FLEX people have one.  On the other hand, CoCo people
are still producing (a little) new hardware, which has been a real
stumbling block for the FLEX people.  

I've never used FLEX.  Never seen it running.  Certainly never
programmed under it.  So I'm curious.  Many moons ago I downloaded the
FLEX mailing list archive, but I've only read it once.  They certainly
had an attitude of "Don't tell me about your CoCo.  Don't even mention
OS-9."

Admittedly it would have been interesting if Frank Hogg had ported
UniFLEX to the CoCo3...
