This is awesome. I've been wanting to get into 8-bit computing and do a "ground up" build of something using an 8088, Z80, or something of that ilk for a while.<p>Since we're on the subject... can anybody recommend any good books / websites / magazine articles / etc., that cover this kind of ground? That is, starting from a raw chip (a simple one, like one of these old 8 bit ones, not a 80386 or something) and building a simple computer from scratch? I'd really like to get my hands dirty doing something like this, to get a better feel for the nuts and volts level stuff.
