Z-One

http://www.nomad.ee/micros/z-one/

  • Z80 running at up to 4.6Mhz, changeable in MCU firmware
  • Memory address space filled with 64K RAM
  • CP/M running, with maxed out storage on SD card (16x8MB drives). You need at least 256MB card.
  • ATMega1284P as system controller:
    • Provides system clock for Z80
    • Contains and serves bootloader, monitor, and CP/M binaries
    • At startup, patches Z80 bootloader into first 128 bytes of RAM
    • SD card interface and initialization
    • Console port for Z80-ChibiTerm connection, using UART at 115200
    • Heathkit H19 terminal emulation, with special keymappings for WordStar
    • Software implemented auxiliary serial port connected to FTDI based USB-Serial converter, up to 19200
    • Interval timer with 10ms resolution
  • Integrated ChibiTerm
    • 80×30 character text with analog VGA connector
    • Inverse text and line drawing characters
    • PS/2 keyboard, US layout only
  • Boots into system monitor if no SD card, that has
    • Commands to examine and change memory
    • Built in Z80 disassembler
    • SD card read/write sector commands
    • Can read/write I/O ports
    • Can run code, examine registers
    • Download Intel Hex file from auxiliary port
  • Wait logic for adding 2nd MCU
  • Runs from 5V, with modern CMOS Z80 and HCT series logic chips uses less than 70mA

Z-Two

http://www.nomad.ee/micros/z-two/

Like Z-One, but without physical Z80.

  • ATMega1284P, running at 18.432MHz is the brains of the operation
  • Emulates Z80
    • All documented Z80 instruction set, at about 110000 instructions/sec at 18.482MHz ATMega clock
    • Enough undocumented ones to pass all Frank Cringle's yaze tests
    • Does not emulate undocumented flags 5 and 3
    • No external interrupt capabilities
  • Can physically address all 512K of memory, although currently only uses 64K for Z80 emulator
  • Contains and provides boot loader, monitor, and CP/M binaries
  • SD card interface and initialization
  • Console port for Z80-ChibiTerm connection, using UART at 115200
  • Heathkit H19 terminal emulation, with special key mappings for WordStar
  • Auxiliary serial port connected to FTDI based USB-Serial converter
  • SD card interface and initialization
  • Provides interval timer with 10ms resolution
  • CP/M 2.2 running, with maxed out storage on SD card (16x8MB drives). You need at least 256MB card.
  • Integrated ChibiTerm
  • The whole system runs from 3.3V, regulated down from 5V supply voltage. Uses less than 10mA
