1. Z80 Book called "30 Customized Microprocessor Projects"

Adam Trionfo · Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:41

I've scanned-in and added a Z80 book to Ballyalley.com (my Bally Astrocade website).  The pdf is
about 300 pages and the filesize is quite large (7.77MB).  The book is
called "30 Customized Microprocessor Projects" by Delton T. Horn.  It
is copyright 1986, by TAB BOOKS (ISBN - 0-8306-0705-6).



Despite the seemingly generic name, this book covers, exclusively, Z80 hardware projects.  I scanned this book because I plan to take a closer look at it "one of these days."  I've also posted this to the Bally Alley message board, but I thought that T/S 2068 users would probably be interested in this book too.

Here is what the book contains:

This looks really nice, and is very similar in style and
theme to an 8080 book I have about the Buster Robot from
about the same era.

Thanks very much for this!

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
