The EE department here has been using a 6809 based single board computer in undergraduate microcomputer labs for several years. It has been fairly successful for teaching hardware fundamentals. It has also been used in the graduate research labs as a general purpose gizmo interfacing board. They would like to replace this board with something more modern. They want a reasonably inexpensive single board computer with at least: a) 16 bit CPU b) MMU c) .5 - 2 Meg RAM d) EPROM e) 4 serial ports f) 2 parallel ports g) Ethernet interface h) some sort of bus connector to teach simple interface design Does anyone know of an existing board that comes close to those requirements ? They are capable of designing and building the thing, but would rather not re-invent the wheel.

Please let me know also about such a beast. I want a 16 bit system on a single board for personal use, preferably in kit form to reduce cost. I can do without the Ethernet and the many ports, I would mainly need one or two serial ports and a decent bus that I could map low level IO devices of my own into. And a decent monitor, of course.
