Introduction

During my MSc in Electronic Engineering at The University of Nottingham (1992-3) we used this single boad computer for an assembly programming module. It must have been designed by one of the university staff, but I don't know 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 MHz
  • 256 KB EPROM
  • 8, 32 or 128 KB RAM
  • RS232
  • ZN559 DAC option
  • AD7828 OR ACD0809 ADC option
  • 8 bit switch input
  • 8 bit LED output

It is intended that this page will ultimately document the schematic and repoducible PCB layout after I have reverse engineered it.

Connectors

CON1 provides connection to the ADC and DAC options.
