FWIW, I have a Simon6809 board, and I love it.  It is really cool
to have something that is easy to carry around and run code on
real hardware.  My only wish would be for it to have some sort of
expansion port or breadboard area -- The Simon6809_Turbo looks like
a good follow-up!

I doubt if many remember, but I brought the Simon6809 to the
CoCoFEST! a few of years ago (2008).  I showed a few people how I
had adapted the Dunfield C compiler to target it -- kinda cool... :-)

I took this picture of it on CoCoFEST! Saturday:

P.S.  Erturk, let me know how to get a Simon6809_Turbo.  I would _love_
to help with the code development as well!
