Rumor has it that David V. Corbin may have mentioned these words: Yes... Off the top of my head: http://www.inicore.com/ They made an FPGA-based 40Mhz 6809... (they say it'll do 10Mips!) Otay, memory served, but here's a page directly to the info: http://www.inicore.com/core_lib/inicpu.htm [[ I have *no* idea on cost -- just stumbled across it during a google search a couple of years ago. ]] Also, if you're looking for something "more updated" there's always the Hitachi 63C09 - it's 4 Mhz, and has more registers, a 16-bit integer multiply (with a 32-bit result) and clock for clock is faster than the 6809.
