don't tell mr. goodwin, but i'm building a small micro with pics festooned around a z80, providing peripheral support. and i'm only doing it for fun.
currently i've got a 16f877 bootloading it's own firmware, bootloading z80 code into sram then releasing the busses, and the z80 from reset state. the 877 will also serve as the UART for z80 comms.
i'm sure there's lots of reasons why i shouldn't being enjoying myself like this, but in the meantime, but what the hell...
