(Zilog's parent company) needs to release all the specs, schematics, and documentation with an open license. (If they aren't already)

Making the tapeout and the fab masks opensource would be nice. It would give designers a head start on replicating the chip, possibly as multiple cores on an SOC. That would be fun to play with.

@RL_Dane Loved it. And then the Hitachi 64180 which greatly expanded the applicability of it's instruction set.

Product c1992. My design. PCB layout by PC software I developed. Actually a dual ported RAM disk for the PC. Firmware written in assembly. Assembler I wrote. It was the good old days!!

Bootstrapping something from semi-bare-metal is a dream of mine (in this dream, I have a lot more free time 😂).

@RL_Dane haha. Back then I thought I'd save gold by only including the bus pins that I used.
