So, now that #Zilog is throwing in the towel on the #DIP40 version of the #Z80 CPU, what are we going to do when our #microcomputer processor fries itself? Is there a compatible plug-in alternative, or perhaps something as simple as an adapter for another form factor?
Asking for a friend who has accumulated way too many Z80 based machines. Ahemn.. ;-)
@kithrup @Houl would make sense.
Pretty shure a low power yet #64bit version may have it's merits in #embedded and #automation, espechally if it could be hooked up directly to 5V without need to step-down...
Not shure if it could compete with the @Raspberry_Pi #PiPico (W) unless there's some substantial demand for #DIP40 ir as drop-in #upgrade...
Maybe @fuchsiii would know more?
