APPLE ][ Stellation Two "The Mill" 6809 OS/9 daughter-board PCB and Prom code. DESCRIPTION This project contains schematics and software of a plug-in daughter-board for the APPLE ][ Stellation Two "The Mill" 6809 OS/9 card. The daughter-board remaps Apple II ram as seen by the 6909 board to allow execution of Microware OS/9 . This is not the original implementation of the Stellation Two daughter-board nor a clone of it. The original daughter-board made use of one 74S288 prom and 74LS367 Hex Buffer to create a custom memory mapping. The high cost of 74S288 prom burners and the scarce availability of 74S288 proms suggested to implement a different solution. Then one ATmel ATF16V8C PLD has been programmed to emulate a prom with the right ram memory mapping combination. A switch has been added to allow for normal/OS9 memory mapping selection. When installing this daughter-board, chip at location U1 of the 6809 main board (74LS14) must be exchanged with a 74lS04 as recommended in the original Stellation Two OS9 BASIC09 documentation.
