Nice Architectures to work with

[Zacariaz]

What a sad ending of a subject i really care to learn more about.
Bloodhound, please reconsider your atitude towards other people.

I'm sorry I just have a really bad migraine right now. You have no idea how mad I get when I'm stuck on something and I have one... Ahh my head.

[bloodhound23]

Back on topic I believe it would be possible to make a system from a z80 that is equivalent to the magic-1

@bloodhound23: Would it be at all possible to stop double posting? Tha...an....k....s...

[bloodhound23]

What could you do with a z80, and which one would you choose maybe a ZNEO.

[bloodhound23]

I think I might try a 2 z80's with one as the one that runs the operating system and programs and one Specifically for the mmu. I'm hoping I can get it to address at least 1mb or so. I want to be able to connect a USB Drive to it so I don't have to have a giant hard disk. I could buy a cheap display for it too. Eventually I think it would be cool to enable it to connect to a wireless network... long time away. I wonder what I'll call it.

Features I hope for:
Display
Multitasking
USB
1mb or more of ram
wireless network.
Custom Keyboard
instead of having Crutch written for x86-64, I'll do z80 for now.

[bloodhound23]

maybe have the OS boot from a flash drive.

Have you heard of the edit button?

[Zacariaz]

here is my suggetion.

1. Open notepad, wordpad, or whatever you use, and start writing an essay about whatever is on your mind, what you can't understand and so on and so forth.

2. When you think you're done, read it, correct any errors you might find, add anything you might have forgotten and remove anything that on second thought doesnt seem relevant.

3. If by step 2 no alterations was made goto step 4, otherwise goto step 2.

4. Assuming this is the first and only time doing step 4, get a good nights sleep and do step 2 again.

5. You're done! Post it in the correct category and be proud of your self.

Cool DexOS on DS. Where could I find technical docs on the GBA internals?

Try here:

Also a good ARM Dev platform is the gp2x, see here:

[bloodhound23]

I'm thinking of using an eZ80( eZ80L92AZ020SC), along with a few other of the z80 MPUs for things like graphics and stuff. 16mb is like 64 bit when it comes to what I need do what I want, and with 6 timers I suppose multitasking is note out of the question. Also, I was only expecting 4mhz, 20mhz kills!

[bloodhound23]

anyway this is a project I'll put off into the future when I learn more about electronics. I'm going back to Crutch64(the z80 version will be CrutchZ)
