#zilog — Public Fediverse posts

Having just read some #PDP11 assembler code, and similar in #m68k, #sparc, and #i386, my big take-away was that literally everything in computing would have been better in a world where #Zilog won.

Any other #Nascom or #Gemini #vintagecomputing geeks out there? I inherited a rather large collection from my late dad, but so far I've only found a handful of people why are into the #Galaxy computers made by Gemini Microcomputers Ltd., and none in the Fediverse yet. The Geminis were made in #England and mostly featured the #Zilog #z80 although they very briefly ventured into Motorola 68K world before throwing in the towel.

Dear internet,

Does anyone know of a cycle accurate #zilog #ez80 simulator? I'm looking for something that exposes all of the pins in the emulator as well, that is I need to be able to sample the address and data lines from other code in a cycle accurate way to test-drive some peripherals.

I found a core written for the TI calculators, but it seems very tied to that use, and I don't know how accurate it is either. Maybe it is very good, if anyone knows please let me know!

Our #Kneiser #M100 is packed and ready for exhibition at #RetroGamesCon in the old riding hall #Soltau on Saturday, September 6th. So, if you happen to be there, feel free to come and check it out at our table. I'll definitely try to get a chess program for it so that the incredible 4 MHz #Z80 power can do some serious computing.

Nearly forgot about those micro-controllers that contained a #BASIC interpreter to easily use in single-board computers, like the "BERT" computer from the German #Hobbythek TV show:

Are there more like this #Zilog Z8671 and #Intel 8052 BASIC µC?

I got reminded by @lynx to feed my #Protobean so i did! Some crunchy Z80s and other neat chips :)

No Z80? No Problem! - Earlier this year Zilog stopped production of the classic 40-pin DIP Z80 microproc... - https://hackaday.com/2024/09/16/no-z80-no-problem/ #retrocomputing #rc2014 #zilog #ez80 #z80

Using the character to bitmap mapping available in the latest #AgonLight VDP firmware, I've been able to transform an ASCII #curses version of Flappy Bird into graphics. Double-buffering ensures the game plays flicker-free. Before and after images included.
