So what fun sdiy things can we do with them?  I do also have a 6809 on hand 
(just one),  and a 68000,  and a 68010,  but I have *lots* of 6502-family 
stuff,  including the cpu,  6510 cpu,  6522,  6526,  6551,  etc. and also the 
same with z80-family stuff...

Surely there's things out there I can use them for?
