Yet more on the Micro-comp…
A while back I wrote about the Micro-Comp, a small single-board Z-80 computer I built from a kit many years ago. For those who are interested, Talking Electronics still has copies of the magazine which contains all the instructions and PCB layouts required to build the Micro-Comp. The magazine is called Six BD679 Projects and can be ordered from Talking Electronics’ web site. Unfortunately the Micro-Comp kit is no longer available, so if you’d like to try your hand at building one you’ll have to etch your own board. Talking Electronics do appear to have some Pic-based trainers that mimic the layout/functionality of the original Micro-Comp - I might look at getting one of those to tinker with at some stage…
