Where is the image file for the usb drive?
That is a good question. I will make it available somewhere. Hold on…
Hi there!
Is there any way to reserve one of the new kits?
I would really hate to miss the opportunity again…
Thanks!
The image of the USB Drive is on GitHub:
https://github.com/z80playground/cpm-fat
It is called “master disk.zip”
Thanks for all the efforts. I look forward to getting one in one form or another. Missed out last time around and been biding my time ever since! Happy to buy as soon as you have available.
Just found this site as I’ve been perusing the web for z80 kits. The last one I built was circa 1981. This one looks fantastic! Please let me know when the new Playground is available for purchase.
Certainly will do. I will announce here all new kits and fully build boards. Just waiting on one more delivery of components.
Hello,
Great job, John! I’m new to CP/M but I love 80-style machines and I’m learning a lot about how the Z80 works from your videos. I’d love to reserve a fully-asssembled kit from your next batch, please! Do you ship to France?
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Yes, I definitely do ship to France!
Hi John, do yo have an ETA for the next batch of pre-built or kits?
I am just putting some in boxes right now, and will put on eBay later today. Ready assembled ones only right now.
Hi John,
I bought one …. Yeah. I am really happy and excited … thank you so much John.
Your work is Highly appreciated!
Cheers – Torsten
Can you tell me when you will have the playground v1.2 kits available? How much will the kit cost plus shipping to the USA? Is there a terminal emulation board that can be used with the playground v1.2?
Thanks
I am making a batch of 10 kits right now. eBay has set up a new method of shipping now which means that I don’t set the shipping cost myself, eBay do. I just mail to a UK address and eBay handle it from there. So bizarrely, I don’t actually know the shipping cost! They also handle the import taxes themselves now. I think it is something to do with Brexit 🙁
Shipping to Germany is £12,94 and import tax/toll is £14,56 …
It’s ok I think …
Will I be able to find the Z80 playground kits on eBay USA or do I have to look at eBay UK?
I only ever put them on ebay.co.uk, never occurred to me to put them on other eBays too. I’ll post a link here when I put them up, but the best bet is to favorite my eBay account. That way you can configure it to send you an email when I make a listing. For reasons that I cannot remember I sell as just_the_one_cornetto !!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/just_the_one_cornetto
