In 1987, I've designed a small Z80 board that I could connect to a French
minitel. The z80 board had:
- A z80 cpu running at 2.4576Mhz.
- A z80 dma (in fact I've never succeeded in using it (-:)
- A z80 sio (1200 baud for minitel)
- 8Kb of EPROM (2x2732)
- 2Kb of CMOS ram, transformed into 8Kb of CMOS battery saved ram on
an expansion board.
- The z80 board was realized in wrapping technic.
The prom monitor took 4Kb and I've used ancien programming technics with
hand assembling, binary copying from one eprom to the other to insert
code or do patches.
