LC-81 to the rescue

10/24/2010

Heritage/1 has been (and still is) a loved project; the only problem is the enormous amount of time and mental attention it demands from me. I was wondering what about to take something less demanding in terms of hardware design such as one based on an old microprocessor such as the Zilog Z80.

It is a totally different story, of course, but at least I could build a "basic hardware" in short, so I could devote the rest of the time to the second half of the matter which is Software and peripherals.

My problem with these kind of projects is that I take them very seriously in terms of "culture" and I've set my mind already around the "minicomputer culture".

Not entirely convinced yet, I nevertheless gave it a try. I called it "LC-81" to signify: a "Learning Computer", 8-bits, try 1.
