[Coco] Somewhat OT - SWTPC 6809 Restoration Project

[Joel Ewy]

Hey all,

I have on loan the remains of two or three SWTPc 6809 computers that had 
belonged to the late friend of a friend, and I'm going to try to restore 
them to working condition.  (I can probably only get one working, since 
there only seems to be one CPU board, unless another one turns up in 
other boxes...)  My plan is to try to get Flex and OS-9 running, and 
maybe get it to run some old text adventures and such things.  If I get 
real ambitious I might hook up one of those serial<->ethernet/telnet 
thingies and make it play adventure games over the Internet.  First 
things first though.  I'm cataloging the parts and trying to understand 
the DAT circuit on the CPU board.
