Make a PDF of your design and I'll whack it on VZ-ALiVE! If anyone wants to expand a VZ300: If you use the VZ200 expansion modules on a VZ300 there's a gap in...

No I haven't thought of building a new VZ from components. Well, maybe I have but then I realised how hard it would be. To do this easily you would really need...
Hi, My VZ200 is in such bad shape that one of my long term projects is to rebuild most of it. Needs a new Z80, ROM, RAM, 6847 and TBA520, all blown up over...

... I should point out that the Z180 supports addressing 20 bits allowing it to access 1MB of memory with an MMU where the eZ80 can support 24 bit addressing...
Took the lid off an old 128k microbee I own but never really used. I'm going to cannibalize the case and keyboard for my new vz project. Kind of like ...

Also a good computer to rip apart for parts, the ic's are socketed not soldered so they are easy to extract. It has the motorola 6847 and 8k ram chips....
