HB6809 - 6809 Based Minimal Expansion Computer
The HB6809 is a mini ITX form factor 6809 based open expansion computer. there are four expansion slots available which are pre-addressed in to 4K sections, providing enough space to build fairly versatile modules. Currently there is a bare bones serial module but more modules are in the works for sound, traditional HID devices like keyboards / mice / controllers, and graphics. You can download the full project files schematics and more on the GitHub or Hackaday.io sites for this project.
The serial expansion card is also available as a shared project as well, though the schematics are simple enough the serial controller could be built on the prototyping area of the main PCB as well.

Thanks so much! I am working on a 63C09 that should fit in a 100x100 mm board that stages from ram with 128k of banked ram, i2c, spi and lots of other goodies. Very close to a production version of that. Infact I am building the prototype for the board today. I have been working on firmware for.the last several months. If you have ever seen the z80-mbc2 it is very similar to that ( however it is 6x09 based )
excellent.
Thanks Mitch! Yeah, beyond what I wrote already on the hack a day I haven't really committed much to the documentation yet. I am starting to work on custom firmware next I have built a sound card I just got the revised boards back next up is finishing testing the sound card (perhaps this weekend or next)
