purpose of this exercise is to have an old 8-bit system so
you can program in hex and/or assembler, then you can download an
emulator and play around with it from there. If you mainly want to run
things off the various serial and parallel ports then something like the
Micro-KIM would be useful.
The other disadvantage is with a NEW scratch built computer is the software
tools needed like a assembler.

I've been thinking about that, aren't there cross-assemblers out there that
would do the job? I'd be interested in hearing about any that would run
under linux, for the z80, 8085, or 6502 chips...
