[Coco] Arduino question

[Mark Marlette]

Several years ago, at one the the ChicagoFests, I met a guy that was attempting to use the AVR platform to emulate the 6809.

Not sure what happened to this as I haven't seen him there again.

Chris Hawks worked for him or at the same company.

Chris???

I am very verse in the AVR platform have many of the dev kits and tools. It is a blast!

Regards,

Mark
