RPi Pico emulates Z80 and runs CP/M

 

Not sure if there's anybody here that's interested in "retro computing"
but here's an interesting article about running a Z80 emulator AND CP/M
on a Raspberry Pi Pico!



FWIW, there are two parts -- link for part 2 is at the end.

No DallasRPI Meeting this Saturday.

 

Heads up, we are going to skip our monthly get-together this Saturday, Nov. 5, because I'm attending , and I've not figured out how to be in two places at the same time.

Sorry.

We'll be back to regular scheduled insanity in December.

DallasRPI Usergroup Meeting 10/2022

 

So, anybody tried Oktoberfest just yet? Any fallout, recommendations, places to avoid, new cures for resulting hangover and all that?

I case you are still functioning, here we go again. As always hybrid, both at (999 E. Arapaho, Richardson, TX 75081) and online. Who's got something to show? Doesn't have to be a detailed presentation, anything will do.

Re: Pico's and RPi400 kits at Microcenter, Dallas

Only thing I have to make sure is that the store's crew doesn't see the big bus from within the store? Because extended family is a thing?

This month's talk is by Kim Phillips, who will discuss details in "Meltdown and Spectre".

Improving has offices at 5445 Legacy Drive, Suite 100, Plano, TX

The doors to the building are locked at 6 PM.? Someone will be
available to let you in after 6.? There may be a note taped to the
building doors with a cell number on it to call to get someone to let
you in.

You can get to Improving early and wait in their lobby.? Improving has
wifi available for guests, should you bring a laptop.? I have gotten
there as early as 5 PM.
