Re: SIO and Hayesmodem
Lee, There is Lynx of course. This is a linux text based browser that renders webpages into text like your vcfmw.org page. Maybe something like that could be ported to z80 code, if there arent

Re: Captain Video
Hi, Bill, Perhaps your “pocket-sized Z180 computer” has arrived by now. If so, you may be looking for something to run on it. So here’s a quick “something to send your way”: This is a

While on the topic of modems... https://www.ebay.com/itm/184205143838 They are used in credit card terminals. 2400 baud. Only thing they need besides the normal stuff is a reset signal.

Yeah, not sure how useful this is but it was fun getting it together. The only thing I forgot to mention is the use of a one-piece TTL-to-RS232 level shifter. It has a DE9 on it and fits inside a

SIO and Hayesmodem
All – Just a fun thing to do with the Z80MC and SIO card. With some great detective work from Josh and a little bit of tinkering, I was able to get the SIO connected to a

Re: Z180 (was: Captain Video)
I got my TI-86 in 1998 or maybe 1999. So I don't think it would be considered "later" but can't swear to it. It did use a different processor from most of the other graphing calculators they sold. I'm

Re: Z180 (was: Captain Video)
Many of the later TI 8x were not true Z80 but the sorta compatible Rabbit. and I think later eZ80. A good example of bus width is the DEC T-11, its PDP11 a 16 bit architecture but the T-11 had a

Re: Z180 (was: Captain Video)
TI-86 is a Z80 with 128mb of memory, so likely one of the processors you guys are talking about, too. Display on them is essentially the same as the TRS-80 computers, except maybe for graphics. There

There was the P112 and its follow on.? IT was popular but the date was 1980 and 8088 was showing its face finally (it had ben around for a while but no takers). . FYI 64180 and Z180 are to most still

I'm hoping there will be a way to put video on it, one of these days. I'm pretty much starting from scratch, as far as legacy computers go. May have to rob the chips from this one to go on a different
