Is there anyone out there interested in starting a new z80 project?

Doing what?

Commercially or what?

The Z80 is a nice little CPU and easily capable of running many kinds of
embedded/appliance applications ... but I'm not sure how cost-effective it
is when less than £100 will buy you a whole single-board computer running
a 32-bit CPU a hundred times as fast as a Z80.

Cheers,
Daniel.



But does that board play Manic Miner?

or Jet Pac?

:o)
