Homemade Z80 COMPUTER running elementary BASIC language
ygg-it.tripod.com Hi, I finally wrote a Basic language for my Z80/AM95 8-bit NANO COMPUTER in order to easily program it. I called it “8BASIC” because everything must clearly fit the 8 digit LED display. The video shows all commands and statements, plus two famous benchmarks vs. contemporaneous 1970’s-80’s computers. Due to the strong mathematical support of the AM9511 math processor, the BASIC interpreter runs reasonably fast for a 2.5 MHz machine, offering seven significant digits floating-point arithmetic. Everything you see in the video is the result of almost three years of work (or fun?!). All data reproduced in the video are for educational and non-commercial purpose, following fair-use guidelines.

if basically we can have a home made machine that can read basic language instruction, then why would john titor wanted to go back to 1975 to get ibm 5100?
can I play WOW or crysis in this powerful monster?
XD
just kidding
great work! Ilike it.
where do you buy the materials?
nerd alert
But can this run Battlefield?
wow
reminds me when i built a 0.1 hp lawn mower out of avacum cleaner and a fan, put some chassis , some wheels & the blades… all out of fun and spare time!

what is this music???
OOOOOOOHHHH……MrIntosh u made 2 utube accounts just to troll me how stupid are u FUCK OFF ALLREDY IM NOT IN THE MOOD
Immature is an english word. Look who doesn’t know english now.
do you know what immature means
Awesome video. Where did you learn how to do this?
who the fuck sed a want to progra any way listen kid go doo something w ur useless life ok and stop acting like bill gates
where can i buy put’s becasue i want to be a hardware engineer, and i can’t find the part’s, becasue i want to make my own mother board one day
yea right a 14 ye old programer who the fuck do u thhing u are bill gates
i mean really get a boyfriend u gay fuck
get a life, go out side and start liveing
lol it runs faster than the Sinclair XD
Nice work, keep it up!
nah but still fuck u nerd 😀
fuck off and fuck u >:(
chuck norris can!
No its impossible
dude can you make the display do more than just letters and numbers?
like actually make it show a basic image?
dude if you can MAKE a computer that would run an operating system (as simple as windows 1.0 or even DOS) you would be considered a god of technology!
Love it, just one question, any tutorials on how to do this. I know how to create units like the ALU and the CPU but I need help linking them together. Any ideas?
@RedLyNx22 it’s frikkin impossible (i personally like to build huge redstone circuits and i have built a computer in minecraft) just because it has 16Kb of ram it would be huge maybe the chunks will unload. Also building computer in minecraft is simpler because you can make logic gates in reality you have to deal with analogic gates 🙂
