From the project
A recreation of an MC6809 Single Board Computer from the 1980's
MicroKit09 and MicroKit09_OI are the CPU and I/O (display, keyboard & cassette interface) boards.
The main differences from the 1980's original are: the form factor, inter-board connector, display type, keyboard construction, expansion connector (most pins use the 6809 pinout), ROM-size jumper (2 kByte / 4 kByte), RAM size jumper (2 kByte / 8 kByte), controllable LED on CPU-board (connects to PIA-CB2, also cassette out), * added more address decoding for the I/O segment at A000h, reducing the memory range of the PIA to 1 kByte (was 8 kByte). A chip-select signal for A400h-A7FFh is available…
