Introduction
During my MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Nottingham (1992-3) we used this single board computer for an assembly language programming module. It must have been designed by one of the university staff, but I can't remember who; it is just labelled "© 1991 MJC". Hence, I will refer to this as the ZMJC Computer. I lost the schematic many years ago.
Key features:
- Z80180 CPU (Z80 compatible) running at 6.1440 MHz (12.2880 MHz crystal)
- 256 KB EPROM
- 8 KB RAM (32 KB or 128 KB options)
- 8 bit switch input
- 8 bit LED output
- RS232 option
- ZN559 DAC option
- AD7828 or ACD0809 ADC option
It is intended that this page will ultimately document the schematic and repoducible PCB layout after I have reverse engineered it.
Long-term extensions:
- Expand to 1 MB RAM
- Sound, eg Y8950
- Voice synthesiser, eg TMS5220
- Video out, eg TMS9918, V9938
- Keyboard controller, eg VT8242
- Realtime clock, eg Epson RTC7242 or TI BQ4845
- Storage controller (eg FDD with GM82C765B controller).
