@rzookol: no, hadn't seen that, thanks for the info! Looks interesting, but I guess the Spectrum doesn't meet the hardware requirements due to its colour attribute layout...

Another Z80-related project is SpeccyBob, which builds a Spectrum clone out of common parts (mostly 74xxx).

Ooh! I want one!

Seems a very good deal at US$250...

Might have to see what the bank balance is like once all the Christmas stuff is out of the way!

The Horizon collators I use at work have 2 Z80 processors each (I work in a bindery). Amazing how such an old CPU is still quite useful even today. Just like the 680x0 processors being used in modern network routers and firewalls.

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

There's no reason why ye olde 8-bitters can't continue to be used for stuff that doesn't require much in the way of CPU grunt. Nice to know you have some still in action!
