What is the Green Machine Series of Retro Kits
The Green Machine Series of kits are designed around the RCBus/RC2014 bus, powered by an eZ80 CPU (as apposed to the Z80 CPU), and are broadly compatible with many RC2014 and RCBus kits and CP/M and RomWBW software stacks.
For more information of the eZ80 CPU, see the eZ80 CPU kit.
FAQ
Can I use other backplanes - do I have to use this one for an eZ80 build?
You can use any RCBus compatible backplane that supports all 80 bus lines. You can even use non-green ones! Just make sure it has the full 80 lanes (2x40 pin headers)
