[Plasmode] has created several Z80-compatible board designs, at least four of them using the oddball Z280. The Z280 was a special variant of a Z80 that could bootstrap itself with no external PROM, ...

A closer equivalent to building an Z80 machine yourself would be building an Atmel AVR-based board (since you can do that entirely through-hole), but that's a microcontroller system that needs far ...

As curious people, we’re all incredibly fortunate to live in an age where information can so easily be obtained. If you want to learn how something works, from a cotton gin to an RBMK reactor, you’re ...

Computer enthusiasts interested in building a computer system similar to those available in the early 1980s may be interested in the homebrew modular Z80 computer kit created by RFC2795 Ltd based in ...
