@mcmartin Back in the days these chips were common, tutorials were called "books" and we got them from the library and read them.

@cdegroot @mcmartin luckily those books can be found on archive.org and several other places as PDFs.

@cdegroot@mstdn.ca I've got quite a few listed in the subpages, though (before this thread) I really didn't have what I felt were good tutorials for the modern reader. The book I learned Z80 from was more than 50% dedicated to loading the hex codes from your hand-assembled binary into RAM to be able to run them at all! I've also realized I want *labs.* That 6502 tutorial has an in-browser assembler and machine code monitor to play with as you learn. I want a whole zoo of those now.
