A Blast from the Past
I was pawing through the latest issue of Circuit Cellar when I came across an article describing a new development kit from Zilog for their new eZ80acclaim! modules.
I remember playing with Z80 hardware and assembly programming 20 years ago! Before I knew what was happening, the credit card jumped out of my wallet and ordered one of the kits. $99 later, I had myself an eZ80F91 module, a development board, an in-circuit emulator, an ethernet switch, and all the cables I needed. Some manufacturers want to gouge you for their evaluation kits - not so here.
The kit comes with a full function C compiler and IDE. A few minutes after hooking up, I was compiling and loading the sample apps. Very easy to use. Who'd have thought - a Z80 with ethernet!

Hey - I just couldn't pass on the $99 bargain either. I got the serial port to talk to the ZDS-II but couldn't get the ethernet to talk to the embedded web pages. Any suggestions besides checking the IP adressess, AGAIN!
Thanks
Bob
