After 48 years, Zilog finally discontinues the Z80
After 48 years, Zilog finally discontinues the Z80
While the long-lived Z80 continues on in Z180 and eZ80 forms, the standalone DIP-packaged variants' days are numbered.
The end of an era
The clone market is going to get a little boost I guess. It may not be the latest or in everything but for many things it's enough to do the job and do it well.
I honestly had no idea they were still manufacturing them. I guess an era has come to an end.
Quite a run. I didn’t know Zilog was even still in existence under the same name, albeit part of a bigger company. Still remember learning assembler on a TRS-80 Model II with one of these in it.
I guess the last of the TI-8x series are all out of warranty now
I believe they use the pin compatible upgraded eZ80 already
That was my first thought, but this is just the DIP package that is being discontinued and it looks like TI uses an ASIC now anyway.
had no idea they were still in production
