From the project
Pat80 Home Computer is an attempt to develop the simplest possible Zilog Z80 based computer in 2021
Pat80 Home Computer is an attempt to develop the simplest possible Zilog Z80 based computer in 2021.
Here is a picture of the early stages of development:
The only fully working configuration as now is the Core board with two devices hooked to its I/O bus: the Arduino Parallel Terminal (see pat80-io-devices/parallel-terminal and pat80-computer/software/z80-assembly/os/drivers/arduinoterminal.asm) and the SN76489 sound chip (see pat80-computer/software/z80-assembly/os/drivers/hd44780.asm`)
