do you use extensions in visual studio code for asm?

Hi, I'm writing to you because I bought a box with thousands of components in a flea market, I understood that there was something good in the middle. in fact I managed to find different versions of the z80,, and the 8085,8088,8086, ram, rom, eeprom, plus hundreds of TTLs as well as thousands of transistors, capacitors, .... etc. I wanted to know if you could help me choose the best versions of components and build a computer from scratch. It has always been a passion of mine. If you want I'll send you photos of the components I found, I'm cataloging them.. I hope you can help me, thanks...

Nice, but I build such a computer 4 years ago with wire wrapping and wrote my own OS in C with upload to the board in Intel Hex. Than I sold the system because you can do nothing real with it.

You gor a new subscriber man

Would love to see a repo of your port of Fuzix and potentially an deep dive of your port. Great vid!

Cool 👍

0:59 yes why apple cost so much xD

0:30 building and desing not cost nothing its free time on sunday. you just skip wathing netflix. same as software designer could do work on home free still get WOW why they get paid so much LOL. i would win every competitive tendering not ask million i would ask 500k LOL

first notice leds are invert.when there m1 led off. when read its off..etc. they should go from +5 to pins. (pins are active low) not from pins to gnd

Has anyone created tutorials of writing your own BASIC ROM from scratch?

Great video, thanks

Very interesting, however it's over my head, as I have no background knowledge or training in programming.

Any new development on your Z80 project?

Are the board files open source?

Le sigh. I always wanted an EPROM programmer in the 80s on my BBC. Had to make do with loading ROM-Images from floppy disk into Sideways-RAM.

I am.just curious of this z80 could operate a servo of even an arduino board

when will the next video be out?

2:22 I have a AT28C64B EEPROM and I went through this same problem, good that you mentioned it, so I know I wasn't the only one that happened to it

Impressive

Impressive. I love seeing these old homebrew computers on professional-looking PCBs. Aren't the PCBs expensive, though?

Could have been the Tom-8-2

I would of like a more vanilla approach and use just the Z80 without the propeller. Great work though.

Excellent job

@0:26 4 million gigabytes of ram, 7000 TB SSD, AWESOME wishlist!

Uff, it Will be awsome if the video resolution was 620 x 480.

when Tom80 3.0

WHY don't you use the eZ80 chip, which contains sooo much stuff already, and can get to pipelining 50Mhz, and many other things? That should result in LESS parts on the board, and would give new opportunities, with much larger memory etc. etc. :

I was the opposite. I had the C64 and the Amiga but not what you had. In fact, although I was keen to learn Z80 coding, there was nothing available that could compete for price in my country, so I missed out. That said, both 6502 and 68000 were nice CPUs to code.

Runs doom? Well maybe not, but you can play 3d monster maze. Which is pretty close. th-cam.com/video/bHuIiIreLfk/w-d-xo.html

From a hardware point would it have been simpler to use an eZ80? Easier to use 64K RAM for CP/M and then keep the ROM also?

Neat! I like the part about the name, too, LOL.

Super video thanks, I am curious if it's possible to get some form of python running on the Z80, could that be done via Fuzix? You have got my attention, and I am interested in all you got to tell us about Fusix, I agree with all you said about CPM and such. I expect you have heard about Magic one computer, thats using Minux : th-cam.com/video/qOcSnaK0yBw/w-d-xo.html Looking forward to your next video.

You should sell kits of these

Although it's not a "direct anscestor" a lot of the things in CP/M are "inspired by" PDP-11 operating systems "drive:name.ext", commands with slash "/options" and PIP leap immediately to mind. Back at college in the 1989s, it was easy to move to RSTS from CP/M because so much was very similar.

That Mandelbrot Set in MBASIC is BRILLIANT........ Can't say anything else, just brilliant!

I've tinkered with putting a Propeller on my 6502 system. I cannot stand the clunky IDE that is recommended. Fortunately, you can just use VS Code or any other IDE you choose and use command line tools to compile/assemble and upload. So that solves that issue. Voltage differences are an issue too but that would be the same with FPGA. CPLD's like the ATF1508 work with 5V and can create simple VGA framebuffers. So that's probably a better option for simple VGA. And, you're not going to outrun it. My biggest issue with the Prop and 8-bit systems is the interface between is slow like you mentioned. Even with a 6.25 MHz crystal (putting the Prop at over 100 MHz) can't handle a very fast CPU. Now you can devote an entire core or two to help. So it can be done. Just a lot of work. Too bad there isn't a better solution for video. And don't mention the Vera "chip". lol

That's awesome! I'm thinking of making a Z80 multicore system with 4 CPUs that each have 8k of dedicated RAM besides a shared global system bus with more ROM and RAM. One or two of the 8 k pages on that global system bus would be paged so that you can theoretically access 256 pages of 8k. I wonder if I just enable 1 core by default and I don't make the rest of the system too difficult to work with, how difficult it would be to port some software. My biggest concern is that after I make this system and I get everything working, I don't really have any software for it, so it would be great if it doesn't take months and months to port existing software.

Get some Z80 DMA chips from mouser, that'll handle your SD IO FAST.

I did C on an Amiga, so yeah.

4:12 The Z80 SIO and DART are good but do have a limitation; they have rather inflexible baudrate dividers. They can only usefully divide the input baud clock by 16, 32 or 64. They really need the Z80 CTC or some other means of generating a variable baud clock. Of course, if you only need 115K for a terminal then use a 1.8432 MHz baud clock, dividee by 16 and you're done.

What was that editor at the 1:47 mark?

use maxtrix like 8 x 8 using a mux you can get banks of memory to use

Hi, Interested in porting CPM to z80, including which tools/compilers to use. Also a video or two on fuzix. A general video about it and also a porting video. Thanks for the interesting videos.

Using a Propeller alongside the Z80 has an extra advantage, you never have to worry about overheating.

I'm not sure why you deleted the post in the Reddit sub. I was glad you posted it there and totally enjoyed the video. I wasn't trying to criticize or hijack anything, just sharing my own ideas. I am sorry about that.

I'd like a more in-depth explanation. I'm curious to see what code needs to be changed and why when porting.

Must say it's a nice video. Thank you. Wondering if you could push the limits to work something out to write on MCU.

Aiden, I see you ported my version of TB. I dig it. I look forward to seeing additional videos.

Fantastic!!! I believe that this is the best Z80 project!

Great work!
