Z-80 Projects

Z-80 Projects Page

My initial Z80 project Development system consist of a BeagleBone Black for it's I2C bus to drive three I2C bus extenders, each having two 8 bit ports to take control of the Z80 bus, monitor and write/read code from RAM.

Here is a schematic of the initial build I made, in which I had the BeagleBone Black simulate for the CPU code in RAM space.
