Z80 dev kit

This Z80 developmemt kit was given to me several years ago, without any documentation or information about the origin.

Thanks to Ronald Lokker I have now some more information about this system.

Here are the photos of the system I have.

Roland Lokker has two systems. The following photo shows a kit he acquired, a bit simpler and presumeably ffrom a previous course year.

The next system shows the systeme Roland built himself during the course. Nearly identical to my system, with some enhancemenets (like the slide swicthes and the extra connector on the left side).

This Z80 development kit was built by students in the first two weeks of a course about working with microprocessors. The courses were delivered in Rotterdam during the early 1980's and lasted a year. The system was designed by the teacher, and about 20 students each year used the system, after completing the build, to write programs and do experiments. No assembler was used, no mass storage available in the beginning.

No manual exists, only a handwritten listing of the monitor program.

The monitor read out of the EPROM (1K, in a 2716 EPROM).
