A few years ago I bought a &quot;retroshield&quot;, which is the same kinda idea:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.8bitforce.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;retroshield&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.8bitforce.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;retroshield&#x2F;</a><p>There were (are?) boards for driving a Z80, 8085, and a couple of other processors all via an Arduino-Mega.<p>It was a fun project which later lead to me working on a simple single-board Z80-based system, and that lead to me playing around with CP&#x2F;M and similar things.

Some years ago there was Pinguino (penguin in spanish). Pinguino is an Arduino-like board based on a PIC Microcontroller.<p>But it is dead: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20180512095336&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hackinglab.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20180512095336&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hackin...</a>
