In this video I build and demo a Z-8000 computer, which has 1 MB of Flash, 1 MB of SRAM, two serial ports, and eith TIL311 displays. The Z-8000 was a 16-bit microprocessor made by Zilog introduced during 1979 and put into use in the early 1980s. Very few computers used the Z8000, most notably the Olivetti M20. I modified a CP/M distribution that I found on github so that it would use some 39SF040 ICs as a ROM disk, and I during the video I boot CP/M 1.1 on the computer.
