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
