Ahh, i won the book Z80 Workshop Manual from ebay the
other week. It mentions UART and PIO I/O chips on the
back cover. Mine is a reprint from 1986 and was
originally printed in 1983. - Andrew B (via mobile

chip? The manual's dated November 1976 and
stamped
as preliminary, which is
a little unsettling :)
I want to do some messing around with a Z80 CPU and
PIO, and having a physical
paper reference to hand would sure be useful - I'm
just not sure if I'm going
to shoot myself in the foot using this particular
one!
I should go and google for Zilog / Z80 history I
suppose to see where Mostek
fit into things - I've got a rather thick Mostek
UK
Z80 programming manual
(V2.0) too which would also make a useful reference,
assuming it's sound for
all Z80 chips regardless of source...
