Yeah, problem is i have an arduino and an esp32 plugged into other stuff on my desk right now for work (and a couple Pis with different setups). Because I'm paid to do stuff like that, it's not new and interesting as a hobby.
I'll do look into getting some support chips for the z80s though, thanks.

I grew up with zx spectrums and some access to cp/m machines :)
- nanolith 3y agoI do firmware work as well. There is something nice about building a 65C02 based cellphone, or a fermentation system controller using a 68010 and a CPLD based MPU. A Z80 fits nicely into this. It's not practical, but it can be an interesting application of art.
