Hey all... I am currently in the process of designing (and hopefully later building) a
dual Z80 laptop. The datasheets don't tell me near enough... schematics would be much
better... the problem is most homebuilt computers seem to revlove around the 6502 family
(at least those on the 'net do). If anyone could point me to where I can find some Z80
schematics I'd greatly apprieciate it.

BTW... I hope my english is clear enough to everyone here. Scottish/Celtic is my native
tongue. Spanish name, Scottish background... strange mix, eh?

There have been a bunch of Z-80 projects over the years. Two books that
describe Z-80 construction projects are:
Z-80 Microcomputer Design Projects, by William Barden, Jr., Sams, 1980
Build Your Own Z80 Computer, by Steve Ciarcia, Byte Books, 1981
One other thought: just pick up a Texas Instruments 83+ calculator --
it has a Z-80 as its CPU.

Not that strange -- after the destruction of the Spanish Armada, sailors
who swam ashore are supposed to have started several Spanish lines. I have
a line from Scotland in my family tree with the name Caudill. There is
speculation it was originally Cordillo.

Ron... you seem to have gotten my message and Paul's mixed up... I was the one
building the laptop and Paul responded with a few books for me to read if I can. As for
the output... I'm gonna try to rig up my laptop LCD screen (1280x1024 max res) from my
old PII system that is falling apart (I never liked it anyway). If it works I'll let
ya'll know.

Are you interested in genealogy? If so you ought to talk to a good friend of mine... his
name's Jason Peter Herbert and he's been tracing the
Herbert/Zumbado/Cooley/Shields/Kingery/Alden/Mullins line for a few years now. You might
find a connection in that line. If you want to talk to him send him an email at either of
the below addresses.

That's funny, I've lived in Scotland all my life, and Scots is my native
tongue too. It's just like English but with a slightly different idiom.
