The c128dcr had a built in 71, Both commodore and CMD made mice for the c64/128
Lt Kernel(SP?) and CMD made hard drives.
The z80 was chosen on purpose not for just cpm, but it was a necessary chip to make all 3 modes live together,iirc it used the z80 for its early startup.
This is the way I remember it too. Using an 8088 in the C-128 makes little to no sense at all.
