+# Easy Z80
+An easy to build Zilog Z80 based single board computer
+
+## Introduction
+My son Max asked me what does it take to build a computer, and whether he can design and build one himself. This project is our attempt to design and build a simple, easy to understand, yet capable single board computer.
+It reuses the same memory paging I've implemented in Zeta SBC V2, but uses Zilog peripheral ICs to make a consistent Zilog based design.
+
+## Specifications
+* Processor: Zilog Z80 CPU (CMOS version - Z84C00)
+* Memory: 512 KiB battery-backed SRAM, 512 KiB Flash ROM
+* I/O:
+ * Zilog Z80 CTC - Programmable timer used for periodic interrupts and (optionally) for generating UART clock
+ * Zilog Z80 SIO - Dual channel serial interface, used for console and for connecting other peripherals
+* Bus: [RC2014](https://rc2014.co.uk/) compatible
