Sorry it took me so long to respond to this thread. Boisy's adapter board was not designed to be a general purpose 6809 to 6502 adapter. It is designed to adapt a 6809 to the Atari version of the 6502. The Atari version has a different pin out with some signals not on the standard 6502. I am not saying it will not work, but you will need to compare the pin outs and see if any of the special pins that Atari included will cause problems.

Boisy,

I wonder if the huge ground plane might not be overkill, especially if it complicates assembly.

But, hey, nice work.  Do you have a dimensional diagram of the board?  I'd like to figure out how many slots I'll lose in an Apple IIe (will be at least two).  Alternately, maybe I could get away with a short ribbon cable between the motherboard and the adapter.  Experience with the various Apple IIgs accelerators suggests that 2-3" of ribbon cable might actually work (the GS clocks at 3Mhz., so there'd be even more margin with a 1Mhz. 
2e).
