Re: 8051 pod manual

<x-flowed>
OK, I'm more awake now...the 8051 would be a bit of a nightmare to make
adapter cards for. However the 68000 would fill the bill very nicely. We'll
cook up a couple in the next week or so, what adapters would people like?
6809? 6502? Z80? Any of these should be possible and the ability to run
fast RAM and ROM tests might well be worth it!

The bare cards in prototype runs will cost something like $40 - $50US each,
you would need to populate it. A socket and a pin header should do the job.
Let me price it out, but if can I get a response on who might be interested
then I can tell if I am just building this for my shop or other folks...
