I dug out an unbuilt SD Systems Z80 Starter Kit (1978) that I acquired some years back in a trade, and started soldering. Sacrilege, some may say, but kits are meant to be built. :-) It took me about 9 hours from bare PCB to finished product, and worked the first time! http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/Z80_Starter.jpg Mike Loewen mloewen@cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/

I wish you video tape the process of building it, that would have been great! Bobby On Saturday, July 23, 2016 9:06 PM, Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote: On 07/23/2016 07:42 PM, Mike Loewen via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
