See? I knew there are still Z80 fanatics outside! Oh, and they also hide
at comp.arc.hobbyist. :-)

I have to admit that I never used a Z80 because I had a Commodore 128.
It's a a dual CPU machine: you could choose between 8502 (basically a 6510
on steroids: it could run at a whopping 2 MHz) and a Z80 CPU for running
CP/M. I didn't have the floppy drive, so I wasn't able to boot into CP/M.
I currently use a StrongARM SA-1100 at 220MHz for embedded devices. With 
over 200 Mips, it's just a "bit" more powerful than a Z80 ;-) (have a look
at http://www-ict.its.tudelft.nl/~erik/open-source/LART/ ).
