My home-brew 68K machine just recently reached the same level of completeness except for the particular BASIC implementation (Tiny vs. Microsoft). Guess I should get it written up as a blog post or three.
A 6502 backplane homebrew: <a href="http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?p=680" rel="nofollow">http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?p=680</a>. Especially impressive because Quinn etched the PCBs at home.<p>Fast-forward to the finished (and resurrected) project so you can see the backplane: <a href="http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?p=2644" rel="nofollow">http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?p=2644</a>
People should make more 6809 kit computers..<p>So for example, then you can run OS-9 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9</a> and emulate an 8080 to run CP/M: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiwmUnLTcjY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiwmUnLTcjY</a>
I'm working on something similar. I just got the display working: <a href="http://www.exusiae.com/blog/thortron.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.exusiae.com/blog/thortron.html</a>
The P112 kit seems better...<p><a href="http://661.org/p112" rel="nofollow">http://661.org/p112</a><p>It's a nice cp/m kit and can also run a version of UNIX <a href="http://p112.sourceforge.net/uzidoc.html" rel="nofollow">http://p112.sourceforge.net/uzidoc.html</a>
Some additional web references.<p>I broke mine on assembly. This is how I went about fixing it.

Funny how things turn around.<p>I remember still to see this type of kits on sale during the early 80's.<p>For many it was the only path for their first home micro.
FTA:<p>> There were no notes on what resistors to fit - so I had to refer back to the schematic on the modules section of the RC2014 site. From here I was able to confirm that they were 2K2 and also note the orientation. it's easy to get the one on the left of the FTDI header in the wrong orientation.<p>Did resistors become polarised when I wasn't looking?
