Well I favor dumb chips at the moment because I don't have
several MEG or EPROM to bootstrap my HOMEBREW computer.Infact I have
no PROM of any kind, just toogle switches*. Since I favor a 6809
style of memory access** I am using 68B50's. I just need to finish
the CPU logic design and build it. :)

*The design CPLD based so I can add a SMALL bootstrap of 32 words.
