Well since I am playing with CPLD's  I need to know lot about the 
insides of a computer chip.
For me I don't think I could go wire wrap as I don't think they make 84 
pin plcc sockets.
Did not BYTE have somebody doing a 6809 system. They also had a nice 
6502 home brew
too, on small cards,

I  just want source code for a Good C Compiler. I don't think I can port 
6809 asm code to my
cpu since CPLD design is something like a 6800. 6800 seems more likely.

[AC - 18/9    ]       accumulator 18 or 9 bits -- bytes are unsigned
[DP/SP 18/13]       direct page - sp zero filled 13..1  or stack
[IX   - 18/9    ]       index reg
[PC  - 18       ]       program counter
