Let me explore what of most amazing things I can do with obsolete and old technology looking through the eyes of its future, our present, to discover some hiden secrets, features and capabilities of those lovely and old things...

I am ALWAYS assembling and disassembling it... hahaha
Actually I am programing it in Z80 Assembly Language Syntax and recently I have started to study C Language. At the very beginning of it, I really was programing bit by bit as a really "Machine Language / Binary / Hex" programmer!!!...

Still learning how to use hackaday plataform...

    Z80 CPU - Have you ever seen one?
    Curiosities here:

    Release:

    • May 1976 by ZiLOG.

    Number of transistors:

    1. ZiLOG Z80 CPU: 8500
    2. Intel 8085 CPU: 6500.
    3. Intel 8080 CPU: 4500.

    Instructions:

    • 158 different "instruction types" (FUNCTIONS) including all 78 of the Intel 8080A CPU [datasheet].
    • Intel 8080 CPU instructions: 256.
      • 196 fully compatible with Z80;
      • 58 DIFFERENT intructions opcodes;
      • 2 UNCOMPATIBLE FUNCTIONS.
      • Z80 compatibility: 76,56%.
    • Z80 CPU:
      • Documented instructions: 694;
      • Undocumented instructions: 710;
      • Total instructions: 1404.


    My model:

    • Part No. Z84C0020PEC.
      •  "84C00" means "CMOS technology".
      • "20" means "20MHz max frequency".
      • "PEC" means "unfilled Poly(ethylene carbonate)" - therefore: Temperature range: Extended industrial: −40 °C to 85 °C.
    • "1822 GZ" = UNKNOWN DATA.
