In this video, I installed a modified version of the FUZIX Linux distribution on the RC2014. Modification included adding SIO/2 and ACIA drivers as well as support for my VFD display. For more retrocomputing projects, see www.smbaker.com/

Wow, this is really cool! This inspired me to start looking more into the Z80. I want to build a Z80 computer like that one day too.

Superb work! Just finished building your Ram/Flash card - now waiting for my programmer to arrive!

Remarkably fast machine. Seemed to have no problem running Unix.

Unix running on a Z80. Amazing! It's so smooth, too. I first heard about Fuzix in relation to a port to the RP2040. At first I couldn't see the point, but I'm becoming increasingly intrigued.

Would it be possible to a get an a rom file or a quick tutorial on how to create one.

Are there any detailed instructions or pointers you can give on how to build your port of FUZIX for the RC2014? The documentation included with the build isn't the most clear on the pre-reqs, and the buildall script fails horribly :-P

Nice video! And your VFD looks beautiful, where did you got it?

I'd be interested to see what an FRAM board could do as a stand in for the ROM/RAM board.

I don't think you need the CTC. You can do my favourite 'no timer' hack. Set the second SIO port that is unused up to a low baud rate and to interrupt when the transmit completes. Now every time you write a character it'll bug you again a while later. You can calculate the speed from the shift rate (remembering start and stop bits), or just use a scope to tune it.

Do you happen to know of any kits that have a Shugart FDC interface on one side, and a USB on the other? I kinda want to put my old floppy drives into use by using that, and I kinda want to have them semi-portable. I've been looking for such a solution for many years now, but all I do, is finde one roadblock after another.

Amazing work, I'm going to be ordering a few of your broads from osh park. Very curious about the cpu board your using in your Rc2014. Are the details for it hidden on your blog somewhere?

Where in the hell did you find a 4 line vfd?

I thought Fusix just looked like Linux, but wasn't actually Linux.
