We’ve seen Z80 processor based computers before but they usually use a printed circuit board to easily and reliably connect all the components. [Marton] sent us his Z80 based computer from a while back that is built entirely on prototyping board. He made his own video board that utilizes a TV as the monitor and his own mainboard incorporating a keyboard controller. The system runs at 4 MHz, has 32k of ram, and runs [Marton's] own system software which he has posted. Its quite impressive and we love the protoboard porn with thousands of grey wires running everywhere.
[Marton] used the resources on [Hans Summers'] site for his project. Make sure to check it out if you’re interested in a broader background concerning DIY Zilog Z80 computers.
