Zilog Z80
The Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor introduced by Zilog as the startup company's first product. The Z80 was conceived by Federico Faggin in late 1974 and developed by him and his 11 employees starting in early 1975. The first working samples were delivered in March 1976, and it was officially introduced on the market in July 1976. With the revenue from the Z80, the company built its own chip factories and grew to over a thousand employees over the following two years. The Zilog Z80 is a software-compatible extension and enhancement of the Intel 8080 and, like it, was mainly aimed at embedded systems. Although used in that role, the Z80 also became one of the most widely used CPUs in desktop computers and home computers from the 1970s to the mid-1980s. It was also common in military applications, musical equipment such as synthesizers (like the Roland Jupiter-8), and coin-operated arcade games of the late 1970s and early 1980s, including '' Pac-Man''.

Toshiba Pasopia
Toshiba Pasopia is a computer from manufacturer Toshiba, released in 1981 and based around a Zilog Z80 microprocessor. This is not to be confused with the Toshiba Pasopia IQ, a similar named line of MSX compatible computers. There are two models, the PA7010 and the PA7012. PA7010 comes with T-BASIC, a version of Microsoft BASIC. PA7012 comes with the more powerful built-in operating system - OA-BASIC developed by Toshiba, capable of sequential file access and automated loading of programs. The keyboard has 90 keys, a separate numeric keypad and eight function keys. The machine could be expanded with disk drives, extra RAM and offered a RS-232 and a parallel printer port. In 1982 the machine was sold on the American market as Toshiba T100. It had an optional LCD screen (with 320 x 64 resolution) that fitted into the keyboard. Two CRT monitors were available: a 13" green monochrome, and 15" RGB color. 1982 models came with T-BASIC version 1.1. The machine supported cartridge- ...

Toshiba Pasopia 7
Toshiba Pasopia 7 (also known as PA7007) is a computer from manufacturer Toshiba, released in 1983 and only available in Japan. It was intended as the successor of the Toshiba Pasopia, offering improved sound and graphics. Graphic memory is increased to 48 KB and two SN76489 sound chips are available, producing six five-octave channels and two noise channels. The machine is partially compatible with the original Pasopia, and supports connecting cartridge-type peripherals. A new version of the operating system, T-BASIC7, is also available. This version is based on Microsoft BASIC and adds specific commands for this model, such as higher numerical precision or support for extra colors. Available peripherals for this model are a 5" disk drive, a Chinese characters ROM, a RS-232 interface and a printer. The keyboard is a full-stroke keyboard, JIS standard, with a separate numeric keypad and some function keys. Released in 1985, the Pasopia 700 is based on the Pasopia 7, and wa ...

RS-232
In telecommunications, RS-232 or Recommended Standard 232 is a standard originally introduced in 1960 for serial communication transmission of data. It formally defines signals connecting between a ''DTE'' (''data terminal equipment'') such as a computer terminal, and a ''DCE'' (''data circuit-terminating equipment'' or ''data communication equipment''), such as a modem. The standard defines the electrical characteristics and timing of signals, the meaning of signals, and the physical size and pinout of connectors. The current version of the standard is ''TIA-232-F Interface Between Data Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data Interchange'', issued in 1997. The RS-232 standard had been commonly used in computer serial ports and is still widely used in industrial communication devices. A serial port complying with the RS-232 standard was once a standard feature of many types of computers. Personal computers used them for connection ...

Parallel Printer Port
In computing, a parallel port is a type of interface found on early computers (personal and otherwise) for connecting peripherals. The name refers to the way the data is sent; parallel ports send multiple bits of data at once (parallel communication), as opposed to serial communication, in which bits are sent one at a time. To do this, parallel ports require multiple data lines in their cables and port connectors and tend to be larger than contemporary serial ports, which only require one data line. There are many types of parallel ports, but the term has become most closely associated with the printer port or Centronics port found on most personal computers from the 1970s through the 2000s. It was an industry ''de facto'' standard for many years, and was finally standardized as IEEE 1284 in the late 1990s, which defined the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) and Extended Capability Port (ECP) bi-directional versions. Today, the parallel port interface is virtually non-exi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Toshiba Pasopia IQ
The Toshiba Pasopia IQ are a series of MSX compatible machines released by Toshiba between 1983 and 1985. This is not to be confused with a different computer line (unrelated to MSX) with the similar name of Toshiba Pasopia. HX-10 series The HX-10 was released in the fall of 1983. There is only one ROM cartridge slot, but there's an optional expansion slot available. Several models exist (D, DP, DPN, F, E and S), targeting different markets. For example, the HX-10DPN is equipped with an RGB 21-pin terminal, but other connections ( RF, composite video) are non existing; the HX-10S only has 16KB of RAM. HX-20 series The HX-20 was released in the fall of 1984 is equipped with 64KB of RAM. It has a monaural / stereo sound selector switch. Like with the HX-10 series, several models exist (HX-21, HX-22, HX-23). The later models have a RGB 21-pin video output. The HX-23 is compatible with the MSX2 and comes with 64KB of VRAM.
