| Introduction
This project is about designing, building, programming and utilizing a mini-computer based on Zilog Z80 microprocessor.
|
| Operation
This section covers the operation of the Master Controller (MC) and the other different units that comprises the LC-81 minicomputer.
|
| Hardware
This section describes the computer's hardware in great details including theory of operation and schematics of the different LC-81 units.
|
| Software
LC-81 Software is currently in its infancy. It is being written in assembly language using an Linux PC as developer machine (it was done in a MS-DOS PC before).
Applications can vary from stand-alone programs taking control of the whole machine, to better structured ones relying on system software existing in the MC-EPROM or previously loaded into RAM.
A primitive operating system (LCCP) is currently under development.
