The Sinclair ZX Spectrum packed a computing revolution into a low-cost, rubber-keyed machine. It helped ignite the UK home computing boom and introduced a generation to programming and games. #TechSpecTuesday #VintageComputing #Sinclair #ZXSpectrum #RetroTech #VintageComputer

The ZX Spectrum has accurate integers using binary logic. After any decimal point, every digit is converted into an inaccurate recurring binary which is then added to the running total. This is fuzzy logic and all the duds average each other out so that half the time the number is correct. #fuzzy

Did you know that the Complete ZX Spectrum source code has been uploaded to Internet Archive by Timex. It was written by Nine Tiles on Zilog Development Studio and Timex obtained the same software.
A bit dry but there is a FART joke in there. See the last file.

I'm sure you've heard about the Signetics 25120 WOM, but did you know about the Zilog Z8069 OCI ?

I was, however, almost spared from the Z80 in the 1980s 😅 This CPU is salvaged from a submerged Nokia Aplicom RB660 phone/Mobitex terminal.

More #retrocomputing. Played around again with the #KC85/4 from #robotron, that was collecting dust. Built in the #GDR/#DDR between '84 and '88, it has a #U880 as a CPU. This is an unlicensed clone of the Zilog #Z80, produced by the VEB Mikroelektronik „Karl Marx“.

I wrote an interpreter for the 8-bit Zilog Z80 processor and used it to port the CP/M 2.2 operating system to the Pi Pico, a $5 microcontroller, which you can now run an operating system on. It supports various hardware peripherals.

did you happen to get the free Zilog Z80 assembly programming manuals? If you wrote a request to the right mailing address they would send them back and since I was a bored ADHD kid they were my attention security blankets

I patched Drug Wars with cheats
"diabetics can't be surgeons"

me: dang it. now my parents will never respect me (true). guess I'll just bury my head in this Perl 5 for Web Developers and Zilog Z80 Assembly manual then. I wish I could write code for a living, that would be pretty cool but surely someone would have mentioned it

This week on Zilog and Moto, it's time to take a nice, leisurely stroll through the European countryside. Don't mind that guy cursing and throwing his golf clubs, I'm sure he's having a lovely day, regardless. (That guy is me).

I'm not too familiar with the z180, I know it to be a 16 bit version of the z80, and I actually have a zilog dev kit for it I have not powered up. should I make a play board with it (I think I have 2 or more of them)

This week on Zilog and Moto, with widespread reports about the current WWE product faltering on numerous fronts, let's instead look back at a game that goes back to the very beginning of the RAW era, and see the birth of four player console wrestling action?

Nouvelle vidéo : « Zilog Z80, le cauchemar d'Intel »

Dans cette vidéo je vous parle du fameux Z80, le microprocesseur le plus connu de Zilog qui a été autant un best-seller qu'un vrai game changer sur le marché naissant de la micro-informatique.

「Zilogブランドの中古Z80 CPUが付属しており、Arduino Unoと組み合わせて…」って、互換品でもなくZilogオリジナルのZ80がついているのか。写真に写っているけど、懐かしのZ80(とICソケット)が拝める。

Still pretty old. So for 8-bit Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 CPU's.

In that era (5 years later) I was team 8-bit C64.
