From the project
This project started as a recreation of the SA2120 CPU Mainboard for the 1982 Dragon Data Dragon 32
This project started as a recreation of the SA2120 CPU Mainboard for the 1982 Dragon Data Dragon 32
Everything (excluding modifications) is taken from the SA2120 schematics. Where this version changes is that the options to use banks of 16K DRAM is gone, you must use 64K DRAMs, with it goes all the extra circuitry for configuring the memory for different types of chip.
