Description
The Z80 Computer: A Practical Guide to Designing a Working System The Zilog Z80 processor, released in 1976, has stood the test of time, remaining in production over half a century later. Its enduring success has enabled the rapid development of numerous low-cost personal computer systems, previously impossible to produce. This book is designed for anyone interested in designing their own Z80-based computer system, taking readers from first principles to a fully functional computer. The book delves into circuit design at the discrete logic level, with each circuit fully described in detail. Unlike many vintage computer systems, this design avoids the use of large-scale integration devices, instead relying on discrete logic gates to provide a comprehensive development experience. By following this approach, readers can gain a deep understanding of the underlying technology. With this book, readers can explore the design of a Z80 computer system from scratch, using the principles of discrete logic to create a fully immersive development experience.
