Considering it's over 20 years old, I doubt there would be too many legal issues. That said, it is a relatively uninteresting cpu... For low end stuff, there is 6809, Z80 and other clones, and we also have plenty of 32 bit options for higher end stuff... A 386 based system would be more interesting, but given it's compatibility modes you would probably need to start with an 8088/8086 anyways... -----Original Message----- From: cores-bounces at opencores.org [mailto:cores-bounces at opencores.org] On Behalf Of samiam at moorecad.com Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 7:39 PM To: cores at opencores.org Subject: [oc] PCOACH I'd like to float a discussion on a PCOACH.

Of course, its occurred to me that the reason there are not any of those

happy company would go after anyone who even thought about it.

I'd be willing to split the work on it.
