I have designed a CPLD trainer with 6502 as the CPU and posted a number of lessons on 6502.org. A revised version of the CPLD trainer can accommodate 6502, Z80, or an uncommitted 40-pin 600-mil DIP. ROMWBW has been ported to the Z80 implementation of the trainer. The uncommitted DIP can be 8085, 6809 or other CPU but signals must be manually wired. Ultimately I like to accommodate up to 5 retro processors on one trainer board. Homepage for the trainer is here.

This looks very clean, Bill. What's the best way to get started– do you have a kit for sale, or should I take the art to a PCB house and put together a components order?

I don't have a kit to sell but if you are in USA, I can send you a bare pc board free. PM me your address.

DMed, thank you. I'm going to try it out with either the i8085 I have coming in the mail this week, or maybe an RCA COSMAC 1802 from the parts bin!
