I had an 8085 trainer back in the 80's It had minimal memory, seven segment displays and a hex keypad. The glitchworks kit looks like more fun. I had to assemble the trainer kit also.
The 8085 was used in several S-100 computers; notably the CompuPro dual 8085/8088 CPU card. The Zenith Z-100 family of computers copied this design, since the pinouts of the two CPUs made it easy to put them on the same bus. The 8085 didn't compete well against the Z80, as the Z80 was faster and had a larger instruction set. But when the CMOS 80C85 came out, it gained a big advantage that earned it in portable and battery operated computers like the TRS-80 model 100. I note that you have an 80C85; not an original 8085.
Yes, the 80C85 is what comes with the kit. I have my TRS-80 Model 100 all cleaned up and ready to go. I did notice it ran on the 8085, which I thought was really cool!

This was a lot of fun. And there are other boards, one includes segmented and bubble displays!

I like your shirt
Thanks! It's one of my favorites!
Thats an 8085-2 you could be running it at a faster speed...
I could. But the way the serial interface is set up it is bitbanged by the cpu and timed to exactly that speed.
@@realchef_tom understood,thx.
