From the project
Retro Z80 CPU Board
This project was designed to run CP/M 2.2 from an SD card. It should be an attainable goal for anyone that can solder through-hole parts to assemble it. Note that J10 is an optional header that allows a Sparkfun SD card breakout board DEV-13743 to used instead of soldering on the surface-mount SD socket part.
Here is an easy-to-find direct link to the PDF of the schematic for a quick view.
