The Pony80 Z80 8-bit Computer

I am so excited that the new Pony80 channel is now live and has content!

This is the first of several channels that I am creating to share learning content with my followers. 


This channel is dedicated to the building an 8-bit Z80 computer from scratch.

I will be covering the fundamentals of electronic components, architecture of the Z80 CPU and peripherals, breadboarding, printed circuit board design, and learning new things myself as I stretch the limits of my knowledge thru experimentation.


I have no formal electronics training, but I love to learn and love to experiment! Armed with my curiosity, I am building a computer that was popular while I was a kid. But this isn't just nostalgia, this is a deep dive into electronics, computer design, and software development.


Please join me for this journey!
