Hi All,

Inspired by the talk about Alex's 6809 mill clone, I have done some searching on the net for info on 6809 cards (and 68008) for the apple ii. I have come across references to the Stellation VitaMill 6809 card that sounds like it had some on board memory and was a later release than the Mill card.

Does anyone have any pictures of this card? Any information at all? There only appears some references in articles about its release, but nothing more.

thanks

Hi All,
Inspired by the talk about Alex's 6809 mill clone, I have done some
searching on the net for info on 6809 cards (and 68008) for the apple
ii. I have come across references to the Stellation VitaMill 6809 card
that sounds like it had some on board memory and was a later release
than the Mill card.
I've always remembered that there was a 6809 card like the Softcard, and
another 6809 card that included memory. I thought they were from
different companies, but I can't remember.

Maybe the best known 68000 card was the DTack Grounded board. Stuffed
full of static RAM, nowadays it should be relatively easy to duplicate
using higher density RAM (in a narrower package than the old 24pin
"standard") used as cache memory.

Never heard of that one.

Are there manuals available for those? Or specifications/advertisements?
