@kithrup @Houl just realized that a solid system is a market nieche that can be done cheaply, efficiently and also provide -Principle based advantages...

Going trough my pile of ISA cards, finding strange stuff. SCC based serial card, Topcode Sync, Lantastic voice cards, etc.

I really like . But on the it is very difficult to enter, because of the small display size. But tons faster as the of them. It remains on my todo list to make a video about.
For all which are interested, I made two short videos about the MPF1P on our channel (English subtitels)

Alas, my @rcrpodcast cohorts have finally driven me to order a NABU computer. Should be an adventure, well, if I can find desk space for it (actually).

A look at the ill-fated Z8000-based Commodore 900 UNIX-like workstation.

The Amiga 2000 got its case design from this unit.

Now I'm curious who knows the , or more uncommon who has ever seen one in real life.
At the end of the 1980s, a book by was published by the military publishing house of the GDR. It described how to build your own computer based on the 'Zilog' CPU. The book goes into many details, including monitor listings, circuit board layouts and technical details.
The example on the pic comes from the person who developed the circuit board layouts at the time. It has a personal dedication from Manfred Kramer and so it appears to be No. 2 of the KramerMC. In parts it is still usable, at least its display preparation is working again after extensive repairs.

Other than @breakintoprogram do i have any eZ80 experts on here? Screwed up but in a weird way that seems to be unfixable atm but the error message makes no sense and can't find any docs on what the error actually means

my CP/M 2.2 system. It is a nice environment with an integrated fullscreen editor. Performance seems ok. Good manual too. I like it this far😃

A small blog post about my early beginnings and a short history review. For all other the wikipedia entry is more useful.

Today I got a small bag of 7.3728 MHz oscillators, so time to upgrade my small budgetronics and double the speed 😃 First attempt trying to overclock the Z80A failed (as expected), so the Z80 was replaced by an 8 MHz part.

Throwback Thursday—is that a thing?—to the time I mocked up a advertisement for the Z80-MBC2. "Fast chip? She's Fast enough for you, old man."

Did my own "standard" benchmark, an ASCII Mandelbrot plot, in BASIC. MS BASIC in CP/M on 7.4 MHz Z80 is 155 seconds. The AgonLight BBC BASIC does this in just 17 seconds! That's like a Z80 at 67 MHz - that is, really fast 😃

The morning sun is coming through the slats on the blinds and falling on my desk at just the right angle.

Tested my skills in C and Pascal, writing a small utility to make a sorted directory list in CP/M. Seems that the Turbo Pascal version is faster than the Hi-Tech C version.

Started to look for all the parts for building up a basic . I've seen there is a video+keyboard card using . Seems to be a useful addition for the future. Has someone experience with the quality of the output signal?
