Hey, Interesting project !
Choosing an eZ80 would be more difficult ?
By the way, I found a site : http://retro.hansotten.nl/sample-page/z80/ (maybe useful ?)

Hey!
Great that you like it Smile

No, an eZ80 is no way that would work. It was already difficult enough to get a supplier for 15 MHz Z80s, but thanks for suggesting anyways Wink

I had a look at these while in planning phase, but they only come in SMD form factor and all our components are through hole and are easily hand solderable.
It's a kit after all and not a premade product. We did this intentionally as a kit is more fun and makes the builder have a stronger bond with the item.

The schematics are basically done, but some last minute changes require a little bit of rearranging.
By the way We agreed on final graphics modes Very Happy
Mode 0: Text mode; 50*37 chars 16 foreground, 16 background colours
Mode 1: High res mode; 200*150 @4bpp
Mode 2 Low res mode; 100*75 @8bpp
