This is probably going to sound like a rather strange request, but I'd like to
find a 6809-based single board computer that can support floppies and probably
a hard disk (SCSI prefered) that will run OS-9.  I know I can get lots of neat
68K based boards (the TC70 and MM-1 being the most obvious), but I've got lots
of 68K based machines and would like to get one based on the 6809.  I know
about the TC-9, but it requires lots of *stuff* to be added to support floppies
and a hard disk.  If nothing else, it requires a CoCo hard/floppy controller
and I can't even find one of those for my CoCo3!  Besides, I want to stay away
from the rats nest that results from interfacing several different products
together. Anyone know of a manufacturer of 6809 based single board computers
that support OS-9?  I don't care about CoCo compatibility and I'd be happy to
have just an RS-232 port for the console.  I don't need any video support or a
direct keyboard interface, just a simple CPU, a couple of serial ports, and a
floppy/hard disk interface.  Does such a beast exist?

Thanks
