Z80 Breakoutboard

Any interest in the Z80 - looking at creating a breakout board?

    Has anybody else seen the Perf+ 2 boards ? I have added several pictures from a 6502 computer somebody built with them. Notice, NO WIRES. Connections are made by cutting pads free from or soldering pads to

    traces that all run in one direction on the top, and at 90 deg. angle on the bottom (see connection diagram pictures). I bought 5 of them for $25 when they were getting funding on Kickstarter (I have no other ties with

    this product) and I've been trying to figure out what do do with them. A similar minimal Z-80 project seems like a natural.

    As my projects show I make PCBs as needed.

    The perf board idea is not new idea.  IBM used this style PCBs of the 1980 and 90's.

    I never said it was a new idea so I have no idea why you think I did. Most perf boards require point to point or wire wrap, this one does not. I'd like to see a picture of the back of that board.

     

    While making PCBs is expensive in time and money I prefer then and in some cases they are pretty much required (surface mount parts, the bane of modern electronic hobbyist) but they are

    not always the best or easiest solution for small one off projects.

    The following post has an example of a prototyping PCB made in EAGLE in moments.
