the liber809 is built specially for the atari 800xl  (and some other 
similar)

the 6502 used on atari is not the standard one   3 pins are differents
RW is not on pin 34 but on pin  36  (on sally  34 is NC)
there is a HALT signal on pin 35  (nc on a 6502)
the clock used on the atari is 1.75Mhz   (not 1mhz)

to produce Q  the liber809 is using a digital delay line  calculated for 
a 1.75Mhz
so if your clock is 1Mhz Q arrives too late

in the past I had a project to put a 6809 on a 6502 socket
or a 6512 on a 6809 socket :)
but never had time

I'm trying to check on how I could make that type of adaptors but 
compatible with several clocks
