Pictured above I have the Z80, a ROM chip, and a RAM chip all wired together. The big chip not wired up is the Z80 DART. Once I connect that I should be able to connect to the computer via a serial port and see if it is really running or not.
The design here is based on Grant Searle's design available here: http://searle.x10host.com/z80/SimpleZ80.html
Only difference is I'm using an old school Z80 DART for the I/O instead of a 68B50 which Mouser didn't carry. I plan on using his ROM sources, but not sure yet if I have to make changes to the serial port addresses and rebuild it.
