| Processor boards | ||
| SBC V2 | Running | Running with no problems at 20 Mhz with Prop I/O, PPIDE or PPISD. Built with ALS and F-logic. Up to (at least) 12 MHz with DiskIO v3, Dual IDE and Dual SD. My first build at N8VEM. |
| Z180 Mark IV | Running | Built with LS-logic only. Z8S180-33 with 18.432 MHz oscillator (x2), RomWBW and UNA. I love this board. Thank you John! |
| 6x0x-ATX-6U | Assembled | 68B09, Flex9, not tested |
| 6x0x-ATX-6U | Assembled | 6502, DOS/65, not tested |
| Mini-68k | Running | Running at 10 MHz with MC68008FN10. LS-logic only. Tested with MF-PIC, Disk I/O V3 and Dual IDE. Excellent board! |
| Kiss-68030 | Running | Running at 25 MHz. CP/M-68k and Will's Linux distro. Excellent board! A piece of magic. I had problems programming the GALs (Lattice GAL22V10C or GAL22V10D) with my MiniPro TL866. Solved with yet another programmer - a Genius G540. I quote: The Genius G540 programmer is a case of good hardware let down by its software. An effort to improve the English can be found here (not tested yet): http://www.edaboard.com/thread313237.html Updated USB-drivers for Genius G540 can be found here: https://www.silabs.com |
| SBC6120-RBC Edition | Running | Thank you Andrew for all the hard work preparing boards and kits! Assembled and ready one day after arrival. Beautiful. Running at 8 MHz without any issues. Playing Adventure. |
| Reh CPU280 | Running | Thank you Lamar for reviving Tilmann Reh's fascinating (although a bit frustrating) board. Tested with CPM Plus maintained by Wayne Warthen. Excellent work Wayne! https://github.com/wwarthen/CPU280 With a simple adapter I can use up to four 3.5“ and/or 5.25” FDs. |
| SBC-188 | Running | Running at 25 MHz as a SBC with PPIDE. Tested with Dual IDE at 16 MHz. MS-DOS 6.22. Why not CPM-86? Yet another gem from John. |
| MiniMax 8085 | Running | I have built quite a few… with 8 MHz Tundra 80C85. Simple, elegant, capable and possible to expand. |
| Zeta 2 | Running | Running at 20 MHz with ParPortProp. Excellent boards! A complete and very capable CP/M-system. Thank you Sergey! |

| Planned | ||
| Am9511 for MiniMax8085 | Not yet | HW implementation seemingly easy but SW more of a challenge. |
| ECB Am9511 | Not yet | Math Coprocessor board with Am9511 at 3 or 4 MHz. Memory mapped or as an IO-device. |
| ECB NS32081 | Not yet | I have hoarded some NS32081 at 10 and 15 MHz. Maybe for use with a NS32CG160? It is possible to use the coprocessor as a peripheral device with other CPUs (68000, Z280 et c) as well. http://www.cpu-ns32k.net/index.html http://www.cpu-ns32k.net/FPUs.html |
| Grant Searle's 6502 | Soon | http://zx80.netai.net/grant/6502/Simple6502.html |
| Grant Searle's 6809 | Soon | http://zx80.netai.net/grant/6809/Simple6809.html |
| Math look-up table | Not yet | 16-bit math look-up table. Maybe something like this: http://wilsonminesco.com/16bitMathTables/ |
| ISA boards Sergey's 8088 | ||
| Xi 8088 | Running | Running at last! I have experienced some stability problems. Active termination? Maybe something like this: http://www.smbaker.com/diagnosing-xi-8088-stability-issues |
| Micro 8088 | Running | A compact and stable system at 9.55 MHz with NEC V20, i8087, Sergey's SVGA, Floppy Disk and Serial Controller and XT-CF Lite. I have tested a lot of DOS and Windows software, including AutoCAD, Windows 3.0, Windows286/2.11, Word Perfect, Word, Works, Excel, Lotus 123, Quattro Pro, Paradox, FoxPro, Aldus Pagemaker, CorelDraw, et cetera, et cetera. A lot of so called abandonware can be found here: http://winworldpc.org I am using USE!UMBS.SYS and DosMax. Only 10 kB below 640 kB after booting MS-DOS 6.22! I must build an EMS-board or two. https://www.lo-tech.co.uk/wiki/Lo-tech_2MB_EMS_Board |
| ISA Backplane | Running | Alive |
| ISA SVGA PCB | Running | Tested in Xi 8088, Micro 8088 and my 286. I have built two of them. The TVGA9000i is a 160-pin millipede, but surface mount is easy with some practice, a good soldering iron, flux and reading glasses. Just solder it! Listening to (or reading) some good advice is recommended. |
| ISA OPL2 | Running | Tested with Castle Wolfenstein (286+). I hear music! |
| ISA Floppy Disk and Serial Controller PCB | Running | Tested in Xi 8088 and Micro 8088 |
| ISA XT-CF-Lite | Running | With Micro 8088 |
| ISA XT-IDE V2, x2 | Assembled | |
| ISA XT-IDE V4 | Assembled | |
| VT100 | ||
| Geoff Graham's ASCII VT100 Video Terminal modified | Running | A single-chip VT100, based upon the PIC32MX256, a 28-pin DIP. Well, you also need a voltage regulator and some passive components. I modified Geoff's excellent construction in some small details. I added yet another LED (+5V), a DC power barrel jack, a different RCA socket, a different and less anemic 3.3V voltage regulator, jumper blocks for RGB color selection, a D-sub connector and a MAX233. I allowed the PCB to be larger (100×75 mm) and single-sided. I had to add a few wires on top. I used Geoff's software unmodified. I actually built two and bought a PICKit3 for $10, chinese copy for sure, but working! http://geoffg.net/terminal.html |
| PIC32 computer | ||
| Geoff Graham's Colour Maximite | Running | A very capable, single-chip BASIC computer, based upon the PIC32MX795 and with Graham's MMBasic. The PIC32 is a 100-pin 14×14 mm component. Quite easy to solder (or at least within reason for a beginner) if you listen to or read some good advise! I have built four Colour Maximites. One with MMBasic, one with RetroBSD, one with something else(?) and one just for fun (or for give away). I got overconfident when I built the fourth computer. I dropped the PIC, picked it up and soldered it 90 degrees wrong. All one hundred pins were firmly soldered to the board. I de-soldered the chip using a glass ceramic hotplate at moderate heat. I could lift the chip from the board after a few seconds. Chip and board where not damaged. http://geoffg.net/maximite.html http://mmbasic.com/ Or why not try BSD UNIX (RetroBSD)? http://retrobsd.org |
| Sharp MZ-series | MZ-80B, MZ-700, MZ-800 | To be continued… https://www.sharpmz.no/ |
| FDC board | Some progress | |
| RS232 board | Running | For Sharp MZ-800 and MZ-80B. |
| QuickDisk IF | Running | QuickDisk interface for Sharp MZ-800. An easy build, only three ICs. QuickDisks store and access data in sequence like tapes, not random access, but the disks are quite fast and give the user the illusion of random access. |
