MCB Board Series
4MHz OEM Boards
ZDS Boards
The Zilog® Microcomputer Board Family (MCB) contains a set of boards with processor, memory and I/O functions.
The central component is the Z80-MCB Microcomputer board, which already provides a powerful single board computer.
The MCB board series is aimed at the OEM market.
At the same time it is the base for Zilogs® own MCZ-1- and PDS family of devices.
Die Zilog®-Microcomputer Board Family enthält eine Reihe von Boards
mit Prozessor-, Speicher- und I/O-Funktionen. Kernstück ist das Z80-MCB
Microcomputer Board, welches bereits einen leistungsfähigen Single Board Computer
bereitstellt.
Die MCB Board Serie zielt auf dem OEM Markt. Zugleich ist sie Basis für
Zilogs® eigene MCZ-1- und PDS-Gerätefamilie.
