This describes the spectrum and also points to a development board that uses the PIC32MX460F512L microcontroller,
This board has the following that can be used for the Z88
- External power supply source connected to an AC/DC connector provided on the board; or +5V PC power supply over the USB cable
- to connect the battery. - TFT 320X240 display with a palette of 262.000 colours. It is used to display graphic content.
- the display - RS-232 Communication Interface - the Serial Port
- 8 Mbit Flash Memory
