If you have questions after all that, I am happy to answer them. If there is
enough interest, I would also consider putting together a page specifically
about CUBIX and building a machine to run it
Building a 6809 CUBIX machine does sound fun. I've been looking for a smaller
project I can work with over time; I keep getting older computers (mostly sun
or macintosh) and fixing them up, but then they're cleaned up and running and
I get bored with them.
I'm not a hardware design guy though, and wirewrapping is out for me. I can do
board stuffing and soldering, so if anyone else is going to design a
"reference" pcb that people can go in on and order in some quantity to reduce
costs, I'd be up for that.
Dave, are there any areas of CUBIX that you have plans to improve or features
to add, but don't have time? If I'm going to build a little system to
softwarily tinker with, I might as well make something useful out of my
tinkering.
