Comparing the Z80 and 6502 to Their Relatives
Summary
A retro-computing hardware article that compares the Z80, 8080, 8086, 6800, 6809, and 6502 CPUs, outlining lineage, instruction set differences, and memory models. It discusses practical tooling and references a GitHub library of decompressor implementations, followed by a recapitulation of programming advice across the chips and a teaser for next week.
