Hi. 14 years ago I built a Z-80 based computer called the "MIZER" at Vancouver Community College in canada. I'm trying to get it to work again. Can someone tell me what software I can use on my windows 98 to interface with this. It has a serial port no USB (yet).
I'm assuming, base on what you say, that it isn't working? Or are you just trying to develope with it again? Since this processor is still in production, check Zilogs web site for emulators and IDEs that support it. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by using serieal to interface with windows. Does this boards have a built in debugger? What was is used for? Please expound on what you want.

When I ran it before we had to use a program called HEX from Microsoft to change the computer language and then a program called Procomm to send the data from the PC through the serial port into the RAM memory of the Z-80computer. I guess I need another program like Procomm that will run on windows to communicate through the serial port to my Z-80. Will Microsoft Access do this? thx

You can start with PIC programming in assembly or C for a very low cost.
With the PIC you will be able to get exclent help here.
If you have to stay with the Z80 we need to figure out which ROM monitor it uses. Most have a human readable interface. Start by hooking the target up to a PC and use hyperterm to see/watch as the ROM monitor identifies itself as it starts up.
