Awesome. I've just designed and built my own z80 computer, though right now it has 32kb ROM and 32kb RAM. This will definitely change on the next revision so I'll be sure to try it out.

    I just removed 128 megs of RAM from an old computer and am considering listing it on eBay to pay off my mortgage.

    We're talking kilobytes, not gigabytes. And it isn't DDR5 either.

      Yeah, even an average household can afford 40k of slow DRAM if they cut down on luxuries like food and housing.

        Maybe the rich can but not all retro computer enthusiasts are rich.

        If you can afford to spend a few dollars without sacrificing housing or food, you are being financial irresponsible.
