Ziloghino - Arduino like Z80 system on Kickstarter
TOTALLY like the idea... But sadly don't like the implementation:
The system minimally consists of four stackable units (CPU board, memory board, I / O Board and Board programmer)
Seriously? This should be single-board, period. Z80 based SBC in about CD-box size has been done in the 80's. In 2015 one could do it smaller. Some ROM, RAM, and low-level IO / programming facilities should be included. Perhaps an exotic memory chip like FRAM (replacing separate ROM + RAM) to reduce IC count. With connectors to take existing Arduino shields.
Also a complete set € 60 for early backers? Come on, simple Arduino boards cost what, $10 or less these days? Z80 / ROM / RAM chips aren't that expensive, and board / assembly / shipping costs are the same regardless Z80 based or Arduino.
So I very much like the idea... but unfortunately don't see myself backing this. 
Well, maybe by adding two more boards, a ROM-board and a GPU-board, you can make something that vaguely resembles an MSX out of it. I'd name it an MSX-tower. What GPU to use? A TMS9129, a Yamaha V9938/58 or a Yamaha V9990?
Problem is there's not much to go on. No Eagle PCB-files, no pin description of the connectors. So I'm really in the dark here. Only way to find out how you can connect stuff to it is to buy one and trace the lines.
So...
I joined the Kickstarter. I'm #2 with 29 days to go
