Yep,  and the 64180 is probably the equivalent for the z80 family of parts,  
but I don't have either of 'em,  while I do have all these other parts...

Speaking of which,  it would seem to me that it should be possible to get into 
some very interesting stuff by throwing a *lot* of CPU chips at something. 
All I'd need would be a small board with a CPU, EPROM, RAM, and maybe an I/O 
chip or two,  and then cascade them,  or build an array,  or something.
