[Coco] FPGA 63x09

[jdaggett at gate.net]

LET ME MAKE THIS VERY SIMPLE AND QUITE LOUDLY. I AM VERY 
WELL AWARE OF COPYRIGHT LAWS. I HAVE ALREADY STARTED 
WRITING A 6309 CORE BEFORE I SAW THE GM CORE. I ALREADY 
HAVE THE ALU AND THE REGISTER STACK CODED PLUS SOME OF 
THE STARTS OF THE STATE MACHINE AND OTHER LOGIC. YES I 
GET IDEAS FROM ALL SOURCES.  MAINLY FROM ONE OF MY 
TEXTBOOKS.

IT IS MY WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS MY WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS MY WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


DO YOU COMPREHEND???????????

I DO USE KILL FILTERS AND THIS  IF THIS THREAD GOES ANY 
FURTHER, I DO PLAN TO DO SO.
