i4cy 📌Did I watch the FCukup this weekend? Of course not! Instead, being an uber-geek I built this Z80-MBC2 board and revisited the groovy 70s computing era. Definitely a nostalgic trip down computer memory lane.

Z80-MBC2: a 4 ICs homebrew Z80 computer
The Z80-MBC2 is an easy to build Z80 SBC (Single Board Computer).It is the "evolution" of the Z80-MBC (https://hackaday.io/project/19000), with a SD as "disk emulator" and with a 128KB banked RAM for CP/M 3 (but it can run CP/M 2.2, QP/M 2.71, UCSD Pascal, Collapse OS and Fuzix too). It has an optional on board 16x GPIO expander, and uses common cheap add-on modules for the SD and the RTC options. It has an "Arduino heart" using an Atmega32A as EEPROM and "universal" I/O emulator (so a "legacy" EPROM programmer is not needed). It is a complete development "ecosystem", and using the iLoad boot mode it is possible cross-compile, load and execute on the target an Assembler or C program (using the SDCC compiler) with a single command (like in the Arduino IDE).

Paolo AmorosoI wrote two programs for clearing the screen on CP/M-80 and CP/M-86, one in Intel 8080 Assembly for the Z80-MBC2 homebrew computer and the other in Intel 8086 Assembly for the V20-MBC:

The cool-retro-term vintage terminal emulator is, well, cool:

Here are some CP/M Plus programs in cool-retro-term on a Z80-MBC2 homebrew Z80 computer, connected to my Chromebox via a Minicom session on Crostini Linux.
The only issue is coo-retro-term sets the EN keyboard layout and doesn't recognize my IT keyboard. Any fixes?
The morning sun is coming through the slats on the blinds and falling on my desk at just the right angle.

I tested the Beagle Term terminal emulator with the Z80-MBC2 and V20-MBC homebrew Z80 and Nec V20 computers. It's a Chrome packaged app with good VT100 support.
The screenshots show Beagle Term on my Chromebox running the Catchum and Ladders games under CP/M Plus on the Z80-MBC2, and WordStar and the command processor under CP/M-86 on the V20-MBC.

The two homebrew CP/M computers I use and love have logos that give them personality.
The Z80-MBC2 Limited Edition features a "Z80 inside" logo similar to the iconic Intel branding. The logo of the V20-MBC Black Edition, a two-flavor ice cream cone, is a nod to its Nec V20 chip with the 8080/8088 dual mode.
