Re: TI-H: General questions with a possibly big im
Well.. for one thing, I don't think the Z80 has multiprocessor support.
You might be able to do it anyway, but it'd be much more difficult than
using a processor which was designed for multiprocessor capability.. And
then you've got the excitment of writing multiprocessor-capable software.
