In reference to this old posting:

I thought I'd note that I designed a C64 cartridge containing a MC6809 
and some RAM.  I know it's not exactly the same as your idea, but it is 
easier to prototype.

The initial goal is to multiplex the two CPUs, allowing the 6809 to 
access some shared RAM on the low PHI2 portion of the cycle, and 64 
access on the high portion.  Then, I'll try to speed up the 6809 to 4MHz 
and see if I can keep the shared memory in place.

Possibly later, I'll see if I can have the 6809 take over the bus like 
SuperCPU and Chameleon64, but I suspect I have to learn quite a bit more 
about the system bus.
