V-Tech Genius Leader / PreComputer Hacking
Those childhood learning computers can be turned into pretty nice Z80 hacking stations! This project describes a journey into vintage Z80 based learning computers manufactured by "V-Tech" in the 80s and 90s. Starting with some reverse engineering information, PCBs for interfacing the cartridge port and software development notes. Currently, there is proof-of-concept support for enabling MIDI in/out, or using it as a terminal for a Raspberry Pi, interfacing a PC using FTDI and the printer port, and even some DOS or CP/M like functionality using a SD card and an Arduino.
