Z80 Not Z8

 

Hi Charles. This group is centered around the Z80 Membership Card. The Z8MC was just my clumsy abbreviation. I was not aware that there was such a thing as a Z8 till yesterday. I don’t know anything about compatibility.

in a few days I’ll rename the group to Z80MC unless someone has a better idea. That will change the email address so I’m going to wait until membership settles down.

sorry for the confusion.

Hi Charles and Bill,

Yes, the Z8 is a different (later) Zilog microcomputer. The Z8 was built for smaller controller applications, similar to the Intel 8048-51 family. It has built-in RAM and ROM, and some on-chip I/O. The instruction set is completely different.

I agree on changing the name of the group from Z8MC to Z80MC. Less confusing!

A rename would be useful, the current "Z8MC" naming is mighty confusing, IMO.
