Does that mean that all of us were holding on to various Z 80 processors now have I hope of selling them for more money? Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

Wasn't it just the DIP package selection for it? Not all Z80?

Been doing Motorola 8 bits from the scrap market. Some misses but mostly hits. How has the 8085 folks been handling it? -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry kd2zrq@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
The PCN states that it is the wafer fab that's discontinuing the part, not the packaging facility. Z80 CPUs in different packages use the same die. -Dave On 4/20/24 12:18, murph via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Iirc theyre still making the ez80. Not sure how hard that is to adapt electrically. On Sat, Apr 20, 2024, 12:58 PM Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

That would be a bit of a project, not sure it'd be practical. With some glue logic, sure, but we likely won't run out of Z80s within our lifetimes. -Dave On 4/20/24 17:14, John Heritage wrote:
