    Nice! I’d be interested to see how it handles https://github.com/rosco-m68k/rosco_m68k , it’s a mixed software / hardware repo, with a lot of code in assembler and C (for an old platform). Might be a challenge?

    Probably not exactly what you’re looking for (since you mention “outdated”) but there are similar projects with 16 and 32 bit architectures, e.g. https://github.com/rosco-m68k/rosco_m68k

    (Disclosure: I’m the designer and lead developer on that project).

    Maybe the rosco-m68k computer kit would be up your alley. If you want to stay in z80 land, there's the omega MSX2 clone but I don't see any kits, so you'd have to get the boards and parts yourself.
  • Is TL866II worth buying?

    Hi. The 68000 is an "old school CPU", like the 6502 and has no programmable memory inside the chip itself. To operate a 68000 system there generally needs to be some external ROM and RAM chips (and the type can vary). However, the same as with Ben Eater's 6502 and 8-bit kits, the TL866-II will likely be useful to program EPROMs and GALs on a 68000 setup also (it sure has been on the 68000 single board computer I have been tinkering with recently).

    I am working on a similar project Xosera, aimed at adding video to a 68000 era home-brew system (the rosco_m68k). It is basically all working and there is a prototype PCB made. I am just finalizing "blitter" unit design and hopefully I'll have room for some "Amiga style" audio.
