HackadayFrom 8086 to Z80: Building a NASM-Inspired SDK for 8-Bit Retro Computing
JohnA coworker was giving these away, so I had to grab ‘em. I’ve always wanted to play with this computer - even knowing about its keyboard :D
Have a power supply and coax adapter on the way. Here’s hoping it boots!
Question: anyone know what the difference between the two RAM modules is (if any)? The one with the blue connector says Made in UK and the one with the black connector says Made in Portugal.

LunyHere a short story about me.
I love retro, I grew up during the #8bit era and enjoyed #coding. Eventually I went professional and have coded across many platforms. Some exciting, some boring. Awhile ago I imagined if I could do retro for a living, but poo-pooed it, who would pay me to write something like #Z80 or work on an old platform like the #ZXSpectrum. However recently, I joined a company working on live venue sound mixers which have been going fo so long that they still use a really old language and platform . So in a round about way I'm being paid to use retro tools on something modern. Weird. #DigicoConsoles
