However, for a complete computer kit, buying the RC2014 Pro will work out cheaper. Assembly of the kit is very straightforward for anyone with basic soldering skills. All components are through-hole, except for the compact flash socket which is pre-soldered. All chips are socketed. Assembly...
The kit arrived promptly everthing was there (beware - the headers come as strips and you have to chop some down to make all the small ones). The soldering was easy and it worked first time. It is still a thrill to see the prompt come up as the processor resets. I decided on the ...
A set for self-assembling a tape recorder emulator to upload tap files to a retro ZX Spectrum computer. Brief description: Control is made by the buttons: "Forward"; "backward"; "selection" ("start"); "exit" ("cancellation" )). The card must be formatted in FAT16 (up to 2 GB) an...
Last week we showed you an educational kit from Zilog showing the process involved in making and assembling a Z80 processor, from polished wafer to packaging. Zilog also made a kit for marketing the various packages used. This kit contains a shrink DIP 64 pin socket, a shrink DIP 64pin pa...
The only difference is that the content of the data bus is ignored while the processor automatically stores the PC in the external stack and jumps to location 0066H. The service routine for the non-maskable interrupt must begin at this location if this interrupt is used. UM008005-0205 ...
Small Computer Central has released a new module kit, the SC730, for the 80pin-RCBus backplane which features the widely-used 8-bit Zilog Z80 CPU and a memory management unit. The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor created to be compatible with the Intel 8080 microprocessor while offeri...
If you’re [Dean Netherton], youcreate a processor card for the popular RC2014 retrocomputer backplane, carrying the eZ80, a successor chip that’s still in production. The eZ80 can be thought of as a Z80 system-on-chip, with microcontroller-style peripherals, RAM, and Flash memory on bo...
