1Quick instructions intro:
All the detailed instructions are provided in the "DETAILS" section and in every "LOG".
Because this project has grown a lot on the way (more than I've supposed at the beginning...) here you can find a short and simple build guide without "navigate" into all the various "LOGs".
This short guide is referred to the current (at present date 31 August 2017) last "level" of development as described in "A new OS: QP/M 2.71 and a RTC for timestamping".

2Add the Atmega32 support in your Arduino IDE:
The standard distribution of Arduino IDE doesn't have the Atmega32 "core" support files.
You need to add them from here.
-
3Flash the Atmega32:
First of all you need to flash the Arduino bootloader into the Atmega32.
To do this there are a lot of ways. I use a cheap USBASP programmer that you can find "around" for less than 2$.
Remember to select from Arduino IDE the "Atmega32 8MHz Internal" clock option before flashing the bootloader!!!

4Assemble the Z80-MBC:
Build it on breadboard or PCB. The schematic for the breadboard is "A041116 schematic.pdf". The PCB version files are here.
-
5Add the Virtual Disk:
Follow the instructions in the log "Virtual Disk Module, a new IOS and ViDiT" to build the Virtual Disk needed for the Z80-MBC OS.
-
6Add software:
Follow the instructions in the log "A new OS: QP/M 2.71 and a RTC for timestamping" to load the needed sw into the Z80-MBC
