For whom the COBRA mentioned above might be a too big of a challenge, but the Z80 is still the measure of all things, the following project may very well be a perfect fun little project right before the coming Christmas season.

Michael Linsenmeier aka Doctor Volt has published his latest project on hackster.io at the beginning of October. And of course it's a Z80 clone - but one that is only built based on components available at that time. Except for the optional Arduino, which is only used for serial communication with a host machine.

Michael's ZX2022 is pretty much complete. 128kB RAM, 32kB EEPROM, serial and IDE interface, extension module connector, PS/2 keyboard connector and an optional TMS 99x8 based graphics unit complete this nice construction.

There are hardly any wishes left open, since CP/M 3.0 and therefore compatible software is within reach. Not necessarily the most innovative homebrew project of recent times, but absolutely complete and designed competently.
