All things Z80.
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 2:55 amHello all,
let me introduce myself I am 69 years old and partially disabled.
My interest in the Z80 began when I bought a Sinclair Spectrum, about 25 years ago.
I then decided to "Home Build". Boards were Vero VQ. The "Wireing" was done with a "wireing Pen".
Display was via Texas Til38 hex displays with inbuilt decoder. all you needed was a Buffer and away I went.
I then needed a way to read Hex, there was program for the Spectrum, all you needed was time and patience.
I made mistakes, fortunately not expensive ones. A 6116 2k static Ram cost around £15.
Then a major fall at work meant that I would not be able to work again.
Over the years I bought z80 boards and a sole Heathkit board with an Intel processor.
My last buy was a Multitech Micro- Professor MPF-I Plus.
It is in near perfect condition and has three expansion boards "I\O -Printer {Thermal} and serial"
The display is a Vaccum Flourescent and it has a miniture Qwerty keyboard.
The essential missing Item is Manuals. I hope that someone out there has one.
Kind regards. Richard.
