...The Z-1 offers you all kinds of peripherals and softwares. It uses the standard ''S100'' bus supported by over a dozen manufacturers. And all Cromemco peripherals (PROM memory and programmer, Ram memory, analog I/O, color TV interface, etc) just plug into the Z1's sockets...\
|
||||
... The Z-1 comes completely assembled ans tested. It's a quality, commercial grade microcomputer. It is not available as a kit.

The Z-1 had 3 significant changes from the Imsai 8080 upon which it was based: 1) The Motherboard was replaced with a Cromemco Blitz Bus (the rare version of this bus with the front connector offset to accept the front panel) 2) the CPU was replaced with the Cromemco ZPU, and 3) the film in the front panel was replaced with one that says Cromemco Z-1.
|
||||
|
||||
The Blitz Bus was supposed to handle higher frequency better, to support the 4 MHz ZPU.
|
||||
|
||||
On my Z-1, the fuse was relocated to the rear panel. I suspect this was also done by Cromemco when they created the Z-1, but I don''t have confirmation.
