Hello Ronin Ron> In short, their series of inhibitions was finally slowed down. Yes the same Ron> The eZ80 needed to be actively promoted, but they... in short, it’s sad. And they promoted it. But no one needs a half-specialist. MK with ARM and other delights. They were just 10-15 years late with the eZ80. Ron> Many developers even have a weakness for Zilog when it comes Ron> ARMov fact of sale of the plant will make you think and for sure Ron> turn away... Well, let's say ZiLOG has never produced advanced MKs, so there are no developers there will be a lot. Ron> Well, now we are moving into the category of “we do what we want” Ron> in relation to the central processor. This is exactly what’s wrong. :( On the other hand, why not everyone (namely everyone, without show-offs and moralizing, at least once) on this forum you can’t sit down and think about implementation of Z80 in code. The basis is there, there are emulator writers and good coders. There is no owner or authority - there is no one to push with a stick :)

Hello copperfeet cop> ZiLOG is no more. cop> http://www.ixbt.com/news/news.php?id=56006 This doesn't mean anything yet. Xilinx also does not produce its own stones, however is not going to die. And besides, ZiLOG has already experienced two falls, will break through. At the very least, cram everything into the same FPGA.

Yes, the same eZ80 is needed was actively promoting, but they... in short, it’s sad. Many developers even who have a weakness for Zilog in the event of the onset of automated workstations, the fact of the sale of the plant will force think and probably turn away... Well, now we move into the category “we do what we want” in relation to the central processor.

Hello Surfin' Bird Sur> Why is this no more? Eat! It just doesn’t have any factories now :) Sur> ...Although, damn it, it looks like it’s going that way - I looked at their financial report - Sur> arrivedI am falling, furnitureI am for sale:( Sur> It's a pity... Yeah... The only hope is the Chinese.

Hello copperfeet cop> ZiLOG is no more. cop> http://www.ixbt.com/news/news.php?id=56006 ZiLOG will remain even if the company itself is closed down. Branded Spectrum for years They don’t produce 20 anyway, but the platform is alive. ;) PS: Whatever is done is for the better.

Hello copperfeet cop> ZiLOG is no more. cop> http://www.ixbt.com/news/news.php?id=56006 There are no more factories, but they can still do chip design as much as you want. It is more profitable for small offices to make chips at someone else's factories.

Hello copperfeet cop> Uh-huh.. One hope is for the Chinese. Well, why Slava, people over there are already packing everything in plisses (see. corresponding branch). :)
