Hackaday ☛ The 6809 Lives On In An FPGA
At one point, the Motorola 6809 seemed like a great CPU. At the time it was a modern 8-bit CPU and was capable of hosting position-independent code and re-entrant code. Sure, it was pricey back in 1981 (about four times the price of a Z80), but it did boast many features. However, the price probably prevented it from being in more computers. There were a handful, including the Radio Shack Color Computer, but for the most part, the cheaper Z80 and the even cheaper 6502 ruled the roost. Thanks to the [turbo9team], however, you can now host one of these CPUs — maybe even a better version — in an FPGA using Verilog.

A timer is a necessity for cooking and baking, but there is no reason you need to use your phone or a boring egg timer from the dollar store. You can follow Scott-28’s lead and convert an antique rotary phone into a stylish kitchen timer.

Ever since I found out you could get a Z80 card for the Apple II, I’ve been researching every option I can find. They broadly come in two flavours: the Microsoft Softcard which shares the host Apple II’s memory, the PCPI AppliCard which acts like a single-board computer… and more clones of each than you can throw a CP/M disk at.
