I have some
scans of an old BYTE Magazine article (July 1976 I think)
that details how to build a common interface for an arbitrary chunk of

put it online if anyone would like to see it.
I think that was a design for the 8080 and the S100 bus.
It was a really nice design too if I remember right. I remember
somebody doing a core-demo on the web. I think it used a iron washer
as the core. Since this is not high speed only the current is critical
here.
It should be pretty easy to interface to other processors, then...

Yup.
