We just need to couple this to a Z80 on an FPGA with a VGA out (or a MIPI core) in a laptop case and abandon modern computing.

- notriskfree 6y agoThe only flaw with this idea is that the Z80 is an acquired taste; not knocking it; and I liked it when the choice was more limited; but when I had Z80 systems; I would have really loved a 2.4Ghz PI 400. - I do understand that running Linux on everything; is not every ones idea of fun and interesting.
- david-given 6y agoYou might be interested in the TLCS90, which is an almost-unheard-of regularised Z80 with different and much more orthogonal instruction set. It's mostly source compatible with the Z80, although not binary compatible. If you want a modern Z80-on-an-FPGA this is a far better choice than a real Z80. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-0I2NpqS9c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-0I2NpqS9c
