[Coco] 6 Chip ^809 Computer -> Kipper SBC

[Joe Grubbs]

You're a mad scientist Kip! (in a good way). I can't wait to find out what the final product will look like. I'm itching to build a minimal 6809 machine!

I can design it up that way.  It could be quite handy in that form.  It could then be used to plug up to any RS-232 serial based SBC project.  In the interest of time and maybe cost, the TTL to USB cable has advantages.  It seems if memory serves that Grant has attached to the USB to TTL interface cable method some type of warning.  I need to revisit the web page to see.  Yes, the USB to TTL cable could indeed power the Kipper SBC if all total the MAXIMUM current draw is 500mA.  I am putting a DC input jack on the Kipper SBC to have an alternate power method.
