In my time I have had a play with the Z80, and I would like to try and build a stand alone programmable computer out of one.
I'm hoping someone can give me some information. I'm not entirely sure what devices the CPU and CTC needs as support but I am aware of DART, DMA, PIO, SIO and FIO ICs.
So my first question is this; what are the above mentioned devices and how many of them do I need to support the Z80 CPU and CTC.
My second question is; how do I connect them all up, and what other peripheral devices will I need in order to usefully control and program them?
Any information would be greatly appreciated, as I am completely new to the fabrication of stand alone PCs.
Thanks.
