I've never heard of the M(icro)SOKit 68, but I'm wondering how many other
enterprising teachers designed their own small systems for training?
I have a "U of T 6809" board, a teaching aid developed by the University of
Toronto in the early 80s and manufactured for them by a Toronto company. At
one time they were even advertised nationally in one of the Canadian hobby
electronics magazines. It was a single-board system with a monitor/debugger
in eprom, and you'd run it from a terminal. You could develop programs
on-board, or download 6809 code from a host system and run it on the card.
Does anyone else have one of these?
