There's already an inexpensive eZ80F91 development board from Zilog
for the budget conscious -only $99. And it's complete with cables,
jtag debugger, IDE, and C compiler. It has an ethernet port among
other interfaces. It doesn't have USB, but easily done with a RS232-
USB converter. The expansion interface provides all the GPIO's to
let you connect a floppy interface.And it's available from Mouser
or Digikey.

I have that board...it's what I used to evaluate the eZ80F91 for a
few projects a couple of years ago. It's a good development system
overall, but their C compiler is Windows-only, so I was stuck with
running it under an emulator. I hope they fix that soon.

The base eZ80SBC from howard is $250. Add $100 for
the disk
board...
Hmmm, I suppose if a SASI interface and ST412 interface could be
added to talk to those kind of devices too, $250 wouldn't be too
bad for the 'core' portion. $350 for just a floppy interface is
perhaps a little on the high side, though.
(Someone here was working on a generic ST412 interface -
presumably over-sampling tack data and processing in software -
weren't they? Can't remember who it was now...)
