The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed by Zilog that played an important role in the evolution of early computing. Launched in 1976, it was designed to be software-compatible with the Intel 8080 , offering a compelling alternative due to its better integration and increased performance.
The Dick Smith Super-80 was a Zilog Z80 based kit computer developed as a joint venture between Electronics Australia magazine and Dick Smith Electronics.. It was presented as a series of construction articles in Electronics Australia magazine's August, September and October 1981 issues.
Mostek MK3880 (Zilog Z80) die During the introduction of the Z80 , Zilog needed a production partner while they got their own fabs set up. They first signed a production agreement with Synertek , but the company later demanded they sign a second source deal, allowing Synertek to produce and sell the design on their own.
The NEC μCOM series is a series of microprocessors and microcontrollers manufactured by NEC in the 1970s and 1980s. The initial entries in the series were custom-designed 4 and 16-bit designs, but later models in the series were mostly based on the Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 8-bit designs, and later, the Intel 8086 16-bit design.
Zeus is a two-pass assembler which uses the standard Zilog Z80 instruction set mnemonics. It was one of the first assemblers to tokenise source code as it is entered, along with MAC/65 for the Atari 8-bit computers , similar to how many BASIC implementations work.
The Nascom 1 and 2 were single-board computer kits issued in the United Kingdom in 1977 and 1979, respectively, based on the Zilog Z80 and including a keyboard and video interface, a serial port that could be used to store data on a tape cassette using the Kansas City standard, and two 8-bit parallel ports.
The Micro-Professor MPF-I is a microcomputer released by Multitech (later renamed Acer) in 1981.The company's first branded product, it was marketed as a training system to learn machine code and assembly language for the Zilog Z80 microprocessor.
The basic system was powered by a Zilog Z80 driving the display chip with a RAM buffer in between the two. The display chip had two modes, a low-resolution mode at 160 × 102, and a high-resolution mode at 320 × 204, both with 2-bits per pixel for four colors.
