Anyway, if I can help you get started just ask. Either email me or better yet ask here because I'm sure others will join in.
Thanks for the kind offer, Charlie. I will try to screw up my courage to dive into this again. I got so frustrated last time around that I put all the pieces and docs away, so it will take a bit to get everything out, organized and ready for more work.
I still think there's a burning need for a raw beginners project that hand-holds the user all the way through - including basic negotiation of the Xilinx ISE dialogs. Maybe I'm asking for too much, so I'll stop before I sound like I'm whining :-).
One of my hopes was to synthesize a 6809 coprocessor board with the gen-u-ine CPU in the ASIC adapter. Alex had suggested this early on as a good candidate for schematic capture based synthesis. Not sure if he ever did it or not.
