So this little fellow just arrived thanks to Phil.

It must be good since it was made in Scotland?

Now I need to buy 1MB memory card, 1MB flash card, Z88 serial link and start playing with it.

Cheers

Nice :)

Glad you like it @mgi

You can do a hardware mod where you can change the internal ram and rom chips. Might save you from trying to get the expensive cards?

Interesting I don't have one of those :)

[Icky]

Does it have the upgraded RAM and ROM with latest OS?

That is a project if you are looking to expand this little gem. viewtopic.php?p=108390#p108390

[mgi]

Thanks, will look into it!

You can get now 1MB RAM card with latest OS and 1 MB Flash card instead to EPROM. These should provide plenty enough and allow to keep internals untouched.

Does anyone have any experience with programming on z88 in assembler? I can happily execute code in C using z88dk, Forth using CamelForth plus there is BBC Basic but I struggle to execute BIN files compiled with z80asm or mpm.

So the little fellow has now the latest system, is communicating via RS232 and I can play games :)

I also got this one and will try to run CP/M on it - right now works as a Unix terminal for RS6000.

Only issue is the floppy not working so needs looking into.

Wow, never thought you could play manic miner on a Z88

[mgi]

You can play lemmings too :)

[rubber_jonnie]

I have an NC200 as well :)

I would suggest that you need to replace the FDD drive belt unless already done. My FDD didn't work until I did so and the belt was in a terrible state.

They make a good serial terminal BTW :)
