The Z80's feature discovered after 40 years [video]

I used the "Programming the Z-80" book by Rodney Zaks

I have that and the 6502 book by Zaks also. I read those books when I was a teenager as if they were tomes filled with wisdom of the ancients. I protected them with plastic book covers and wrote my own notes in the margins in pencil. I worked a Saturday job when I was 16 and spent the money on them. At the time they were so expensive!

Thanks you guys, now the eBay price for those chestnuts has likely doubled! ;-)

Ditto, I've been purging my old tech books but I just couldn't let the Zaks book go.

Same plastic cover on Zaks' book (it's still there) and excellent paper quality.
