@whitequark A while back I assembled a #Z80 #MBC2 microcomputer from a kit, and while they clearly calculated the resistor value - as the resistors for the different colors are different - I think they had the same space visibility goal in mind. Tried to dap some black marker on it with limited success, so it's either building a box for it or replacing the resistors! :D
My self-assembled #MBC2 #Z80 computer has been completely dead for a while, but today I managed to revive it! The 16 MHz crystal was replaced, and now it's running #CPM3 perfectly! Getting files on it is a little bothersome, but when I have a bit of time I'll see if I can get #PolyPascal and perhaps the te editor (https://github.com/MiguelVis/te) on it.

Want to be prepared to #flash a new #ATMEGA32PU for my #Z80 #MBC2 the next days ;)
Because I dug out the old #Commodore #C128D for testing. I'm just playing around with the CP/M system disk in the emulator. And it's so much slower as a #MBC2 or the #Zeta2.
#RetroComputing #CPM
@pikhq This one is definitely on my todo list. Build a #Zeta and the #MBC2 from scratch. Both also based on #Z80 and running #CPM. But with it's bus system and the different boards the #RC2014 seems to be a must have.
Es lebt! Nach ~30 Jahren Winterschlaf wieder reaktiviert. #z80 #mbc2 #vintagecomputing #oldmemories #retro #cpm3
