Sorry for the silly joke above. Yea hello guys!
Yup.. a new Z80 freak here, lol. Not really a user of the zed 80 other than having a Microsoft Z80 card (that I still have) in my Apple IIe. (apparently Bill wanted 350 bucks for this card!) I am an old developer (turned to sw as of the last few dozen years or so) and one that loved electronics from the 70's and now retired. Also enjoying retro computers of all kind. I have been on the 1802 side for a while here but found out about Lee and his awesome designs for every micro we had .. from back in the day. (Hi Lee) and just bought the Z80MC and in the process of building it. Man I love the LEDs here as well as the IO card. Very cool stuff.
So yea I got the SIO card too. Looking to build it soon and having fun with this retro "uC" from the past (cant beat the cool Docs too Lee) and hope I may be able to contribute to this group as well. Please excuse my typing here and there, I have some cognitive issues and hope you wont mind. Thanks for reading and accepting me into the power of what those old ex-motorola guys saw back in those days that we loved so much.?
(Note: I am not biased by any micro, I do have a life time appreciation for them all!)Well maybe I am a bit biased on this paper microcomputer....
? hehe, no not really jk! Back in the 70's I was going to get this.
But I was building an 8008 micro at the time, making some texas towers and thought, hmmm maybe I'll leave it to those that want to learn about them. Did I know about them... NO, could I build one.. yes.
LOL, yea Hackaday has a great article about it too. Go Cardiac!
So thats my silly bio for the moment, hope to meet you all and lets push some more 1's and 0's around! See ya!
Tony
