Z80-MBC Kit - Computing back in the day before DOS
This kit can be built and up and running CP/M OS in several hours from start to finish. This kit brings back the days of the mighty Z80 CPU when it ruled the digital age. My thanks to Mc John S.r.l. for putting this kit together, Excellent work !. Everything included and with basic soldering skills you can have a nice vintage CP/M computing system up and running. The software he put on the micro SD card are a great start to getting into the CP/M world ! He even included a Word Star 4.0 word processor, PASCAL, FORTH, BASIC and a ton of other CP/M software !!! I give this kit a 10 out of 10 rating.
Z80-MBC2 Kit - Comprehensive and Fun!
Seeing this project on Hackaday brought back happy memories of my first home computers based on the same Zilog Z80 microprocessor.<br /> <br /> Shipping between Italy and Spain took longer than expected but this is no fault of Mc John. When the kit did arrive I was pleasantly surprised at how comprehensive it is, even including the battery for the RTC module. Although all the resistors were clearly marked with their values I did double check their colour codes for complete peace of mind when soldering.<br /> <br /> Assembly was straightforward following information provided on Hackaday and via the excellent Facebook support group and I had it running in no time via the included serial-USB adapter cable and 'Serial' terminal emulator software on my Mac.<br /> <br /> I am looking forward to many hours of pleasure exploring all the software that is included on the MicroSD card.
Z80-MBC2 Excellent Kit!
Kit arrived complete and worked from first power up. Well thought out and complete. Easy build if you can solder.
Super product sent, support! Have a try you too ...
Dear John and all,<br /> <br /> Thanks for the nice mail exchange before buy and the quality of the send and product ready to go a boot! Have a try guys, it's a worth ..<br /> <br /> I was using CP/M when i was young ( said around past 35 years gone now ..oopsss!) and at boot up of John product I was (now i'm more 20yo!) like the kid I was starting my learn in Operating System and Electronics ( all my job was Electronics designer) !!!<br /> <br /> Thanks to John for this high quality product that I recommand evry body have one to learn and see how was computers at begin and now due to John good product still is alive CP/M!!<br /> <br /> I simple now want to say you all...have one and let's enjoy CP/M was and is forever!<br /> <br /> Thx John<br /> Super Job!<br /> <br /> Let's run it now to play CP/M
Great quality kit
I soldered together the kit after it arrived and it booted first try. I was feeling pleased with myself when I realised that McJohn had really done a great job putting the kit together. Nothing was missing, everything was easy to find and even the microSD card was pre-filled with the software. I 3D printed a case and brought it into our retro-computing group at the fablab. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. Thanks!
