My boss at the OSU Computer Center recently bought a ColecoVision, and
out of curiosity, looked inside. There was a Z-80 in there. Of course,
there are many readily available sources of instruction set documentation.
I/O is performed using ports (PIO, PPI, USART, whatever) or other appropriate
TTL. It may be possible to tell where I/O "goes to/comes from" just by
looking at the board and the chip numbers (buy a TTL handbook). If that
is not possible, you may have to resort to pulling PROM's out of sockets,
reading them elsewhere and disassembling the machine code. I am sure you
will violate any warranty by doing this.
(If I have made any blatant errors, flames to:)
