I am currently looking at doin gthe GIME in an FPGA and doing 
some major enhancements to the video section. So far very 
promising. Then you can dump a 6809 CPU into another FPGA and 
basically there it is a coco on two chips and I/O 3.3 volt tolerant and 
the core runs at 1.8 VDC. Nice operation for a laptop type scenario.
