Oh yea there's nothing wrong with ye olde Z80. Well nothing that a 33 meg
MCS51 derivative wouldn't cure anyway. But the z180s and 280s are a sight to
behold. The 180 is a z80 with all the bells and whistles. The 280 is a code
compatible 16 bit version with go faster stripes painted down the side 'n'
all. There's still life in the ol' bugger yet.

Be absolutely icebox.
