Hi all:
I'm building a Z80 based computer as a stepper motor controller, and it
would be nice if there was a homebrew newsgroup to ask questions on since
I don't think this is the group to do so - any recommendations?
I was looking for similar resources last year and couldn't find
anything. There are some good websites around - try http://www.z80.info
- but I couldn't find any forums/newsgroups.
I think alt.comp.homebuilt has died, and if not it's certainly full of
people these days wanting to put coloured lights into their PCs rather
than actually building machines :)
Yes, I know I'm 30 years behind the curve, and
yes, I know a
microcontroller would save me some time, but where's the fun in that?
I'm with you there... it's a useful learning experience anyway, plus in
my case I've got a lot of spare Z80-related ICs in the junk box, so it'd
be nice to put them to use!
cheers
Jules
