The Z88 Development Project supplies the Z88 Assembler Workbench software which is a complete developers package that has all the necessary facilities for both OZ operating system development and application programming for the Cambridge Z88. It contains a Z80 macro assembler, card builder tool and emulator, found at http://cambridgez88.jira.com, which takes the Z88 to another level. The team has released a new, much improved OZ operating system, V4.5, easily inserted in slot 1 of the Z88. All source code is publicly available and under GPL V2 license, built using the Z88 Assembler Workbench tools. You can browse the repository online clicking on this link.

A more detailed explanation about installing and using these tools can be found in the Tools for application writing section.

Alternatively, the z88dk project has developed Z88 Development Kit for desktop computers which consists of Small C+ pre-processor, compiler, optimizer, libraries, examples and more. This package is regularly updated with new features, including the capability of producing full-blown Z88 applications. This C development system now runs on several Z80 based systems, including Sinclair Spectrum clones. For the latest release, point your browser to http://www.z88dk.org/

Finally, many thanks to Vic Gerhardi, Rakewell Ltd, for his early support of these notes. Many details have come to light because of those VERY old system printouts he had received from the birth of the OZ operating system in the early days.
