6800, you added a 0. I see these exact model computers referred to (and even worked on) all the time on The 8-Bit Guy on YouTube. Fun channel, a lot to learn :)

I read the post you're referring to by Paolo Amoroso this morning, and it had me clicking and reading about that device (the Z80).

All of these machines were before my time, and I never owned any of them (the oldest model I remember ever tooling with was an Apple IIe in the school library in grade school), but I want to build my own retro-style home rig for the purposes of writing only (though other ish will be done with it, more than likely).

Here's a link, if interested (I put this post on (sub)TMO real fast, because I had it "locked down" on Notion.so, and that service is abysmal) -

...but, I want to do something in this space eventually. It would be cool :)
