Call it what you like: an all-time favourite, an evergreen in computer
land, or just a die-hard electronic component: the Z80 B-bit
microprocessor enjoys tremendous popularity because it is
inexpensive, widely available and easy to program. Furthermore, a
massive amount of software and paperware is available for this
powerful CPU. Here, we present a no-frills miniature computer
system based on the Z80 CPU, with 1/0 and ROM. No RAM, no,
because that is not strictly necessary for small applications if your
programming is up to scratch (but we have a RAM extension up our
sleeve).
