Yep, just got the EOL notice from Digikey yesterday. Shame...
Well, I will get over it
https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/z80/index.htmlWrote a disassembler for it once
and a CP/M clone when I had no CP/M only a Sinclair ZX80, later a ZX81 ..
https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/z80/index.htmlBuild a lot of hardware for my Z80 system:
https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/z80/system14/diagrams/index.htmlDumped it all years ago.
People were still using the disassembler a few years ago it seems.
Very nice processor.
I think I had a Z80 simulator on some old Linux PC once?
But the world keeps changing...
Not always for the better, more bloat every day..
If you see Chromium on Raspbery Pi 4 8 GB taking sometimes minutes
to display a simple text based website...
cache...
You could probably use the FPGA Z80 version :-)
