TRS-80 diagnostic/ICE card

David...

Thus, I was wondering if you could let me know if this part (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/cw-industries/CWR-130-40-0203/CDP40S-ND/1122542) is a suitable replacement? If not, do you know a Digi-Key part that is?

It looks like it has the pin swap issue, it may be that all DIP plugs have that problem.
I can send you either a Rev 1.2 version of the board that will work with that DIP Plug or an adapter pcb that will work for the Rev 1.1 board you have.

Sorry if this is a duplicate - I tried to write earlier, but my post seems to have not been saved..

I found this thread while trying to see if I was going to be reinventing the wheel.. My idea was to build an Arduino mega shield that would interface to any Z80 computer through the CPU socket, and read/write to the devices on the address/data bus.. Test ROMS, RAMS, etc.. This seems exactly what has been created here, and unless there's something I'm missing about the TRS-80 link (I'm an old COCO guy, but dont know much about the model 1) I'm assuming this board will work on any Z80 system? If so.. are they still available? How do I buy one?

Thanks in advance - This looks like a really exciting project!!

Just an FYI: There’s a Z80 version of the ROMulator available for $40!
