@ExtKits@mstdn.social Oh, very cool! 8- ) I have fond memories of the Z-80 family! I chose this CPU for my Assembly Language course on a NorthStar Horizon microcomputer. I then did an independent studies course implementing Forth on it. I have watched with considerable interest as the RC2014 community developed, but never quite justified getting Yet Another Micro-Board (YAMB). Using a RPi Pico which emulates a Z-80 changes the game! With this, I can re-explore the Z-80. If I enjoy it enough, I can always look at getting a hardware Z-80. If I am less thrilled, then I have a Pico which I can repurpose. Now, to figure out if/how I can get it shipped here (U.S.) :- }
