Yea, I am using this computer for my senior project. The computer uses the
8085 which real close to the Z80 I hear. The assembly language is
simple and straighforward. The computer also uses the 8155 to do a lot of
its peripheral interfacing.
Recommendation: Go to Radio Shack and order the technical reference manual.
It -is- available. The tech manual has EVERYTHING you need. You will see
that it is simple to interface with the bus since that access is provided
under the back pannel.
