    I decided that all my 6809 data and software wasn't going to go away on me.

    I still have working hardware, too, but... at this point in time, the emulation is considerably faster. :)

    Awesome! I always liked the 6809. So elegant, so easy.

    ... was a Power Mac 9500. Some of my coworkers at Apple were working on it.

    I don't think they ever released the emulator.
