This makes me put my ZX Spectrum in the right perspective.

Shouldn't it get confused when you turn it on and off really fast again and again?

The Z80 is a science fiction luxury space ship when compared to the 8080.

Very cool, it was fun to play with. Thanks for also including the Altair info, that was a blast from the past.

Very nice! I actually found a mint 8800b in the rafters here at work during a cleanout. Took it home and added it to my collection. It was used as a PLC to control a machine with custom I/O cards and ROM around the very late 70's.

This is really well executed. I had a project like this on my idea list, although for the Raspberry Pi.

The Z80's nice, but I always thought of the 6809 as the Chrysler Cordoba of 8 bit microprocessors, with soft Corinthian Leather upholstery and a luxurious automatic multiply instruction.
