 and the number 6809 ...
Looking at his home page you got alot more stuff about old machines 
including a few 8's 11's and 12's.
I think cubix was a good idea, but this 15 years too late for me as I 
realize in hindsight that 128k of
memory - split code and data is needed for any real work. This the 
crummy 8088 has but not the 6809. 
If I were doing something that needed I&D and all sorts of space then a 8088 
would not come to mind either!  Though  68000 would easily or even Z8000.
If it were serious work then all bets are off, a paycheck depends on results.

For hobby, it's more of doing something unique and different from what
I've done before.  Also the project has a set of goals, portable, modest
power needs (battery), and enough cpu power to be useful as complete 
project rather than a artifact that has marginal use if any at all.

If I were building TTL again nothng less than 24bits. ;)
