  1. Also a huge Thank You to @anachrocomputer for bringing all these #Zilog technical manuals and specification sheets along for me (and the other Z80 books too). I'll be cross-checking what is already on the Internet Archive, and the quality of the scans if they are, and will upload better scans if needed.

    Now I guess I have no excuse for getting anything wrong with my designs!

  6. We're discussing about this industrial #Zilog #Z80 server machine. Two 8" floppy drives, no HDD. Someone of you know this machine?
    Hold or exchange against another rare machine?

  11. I'm in a most excellent mood! A long long time ago, I got a fancy #MiSTer #FPGA. For those unaware, this device emulates everything from old #Zilog #Z80 systems to low end PCs and arcade machine - or rather, it doesn't exactly emulate them - it sort of becomes the old legacy hardware itself, meaning you'll have nearly clock cycle perfect emulation.

    Anyhoo, I also got a #MT32pi for it, which is a thing that emulates old #Roland #MIDI hardware that nobody back in the day could afford. Many of the early DOS titles support this, and it's an absolute joy to listen to. There's a whole sad story to the MT32-Pi project, but that's for another day.

    Sadly, it never worked in my setup - until today! I had it for years and years but finally I put in the effort - a lot of measuring and some soldering and now it actually works! Delicious music in old #DOS games! I thought the thing was for sure fried, so I couldn't be happier!

    Have an excellent weekend everyone! 🙂

  16. 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.

  21. 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.

  26. 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!

  36. 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.

  41. 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?
