Blast from the past... Z80!

I put together a Z80 microcomputer the other day. Real simple:processor, clock oscillator, NVRAM holding program and data, pair of74LS138s for memory and I/O decoding, and two 74LS273 latches foroutput. And a forest of jumper wires. ...

8086 powered IBM PC compatible

Could someone design for me a 8086 powered computer which is IBMcompatiblerequirement:1. using toroidal transformer as power supply instead of SMPS2. using SRAM instead of DRAM3. using super I/O chipthis is to replace aging 8088 system, and...
