Very cool! FYI, the Commodore 64 BTX cartridges also contain a 6809, but i haven't seen schematics for them anywhere. They also have their own video chip. Other than that, there's really not much info out there about them.

I know it's not exactly the same as your idea, but it is easier to prototype. https://www.facebook.com/go4retro/photos/a.386509271508869.1073741826.386509238175539/984731561686634/?type=3&theater 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.
