I've never heard of the M(icro)SOKit 68, but I'm wondering how many other
enterprising teachers designed their own small systems for training?
I have a "U of T 6809" board, a teaching aid developed by the University of
Toronto in the early 80s and manufactured for them by a Toronto company. At
one time they were even advertised nationally in one of the Canadian hobby
electronics magazines. It was a single-board system with a monitor/debugger
in eprom, and you'd run it from a terminal. You could develop programs
on-board, or download 6809 code from a host system and run it on the card.
Does anyone else have one of these?

In 1983 at the end of taking a digital tech course
at a community
college
here in Toronto at George Brown CC, I spent about a month assembling and
debugging a trainer kit that my prof was marketing, similar but more
sophisticated than the Heathkit ET34400. It was called a M(icro)SOKit 68.
It was based , of course, like the ET3400 on the M6800 CPU. Does anyone
have
one of these out there ? It was geared to teach students about micros by
building their own micro. I know he sold a number of them, but don't know
how
many. I have the manual, parts #s, etc. if anyone is interested. Included
in
the manual is a couple of pages of layouts obviously meant to be
photocopied
and etched.
