I've got 4 Z380s!! I want to put together a parallel processor machine
with a cool front panel of LEDs and switches.... I don't care for the
Z380's extra pins like the Low address pin, medium address pin and hig
address pins.
Do I really need to connect the M1 pin to anything? I mean why would I need
to insert wait states if the memory is faster than the processor?
Explain something to me... On a reception of an INT signal, the processor
jumps to a set memory location and starts executing the code. Right? What
is a vectored interrupt (it's been a LONG time since I wired uPs and I
can't remember.)?
