You can certainly say "fz80 does not contain a z80 chip". But your posts imply the machine does not work correctly, which is flatly incorrect.

If you understand "they work differently" as "one works incorrectly", then I am sorry. That is not what I imply.
You are factually incorrect that it is not a Z80 machine. You can correctly
say, "fZ80 does not contain a genuine Zilog chip". fZ80 runs 8080/Z80 code,
which in 2026 is a software API.

I don't want to argue or be rude in public. I'm asking you to stick to facts,
and not imply that it does not work correctly.

In your two replies to me above? I 100% agree. Those are fair assessments and no disagreement. The last I will say, and this sounds defensive because I suppose it is, my only objection was the implication in your post in that CP/M "printing" thread, implied that the problem was that fz80 is emulated. Regardless I should not have posted to you as I did.

It's not a problem, it's an opportunity. Adding "parallel PostScript printer" is definitely within reach.
The fZ80 also does USB keyboards already, but I do not know whether it can be extended to USB hubs and printers easily.

Apology accepted. :)

Thank you.

The Teensy USB library is very generalized, it would not be too hard to add another "serial port" that maps a z80 device to a usb device. Byte or bit serial easiest.
Hello. I have found a posting from you where you mention building a DIY clock-calendar for the Tandy 1000. I am also very interested in building one of my own.

I just completed a hand-wired Tandy 3-in-1 expansion board for my 1000 HX which works great, and would love to add a clock-calendar.

Any help would be great.
Thanks!
