Nude Bender on Futurama

When the world is finally destroyed by our petty squabbling... the Z80s will inherit the earth.

I've still got some Z80 and Z80-180 evaluation kits somewhere.
The z80-180 is pretty cool. Runs at (gasp) double digit clockspeeds, has multiply and divide instructions (unlike its' predecessor), has an MMU supporting a meg of page mapped memory, on board UARTs etc.

At one point a friend and I were hell bent on an 'upgrade' design for the speccy that would use the z80-180 at 10 MHz and an eeprom containing a reassembled version of the original basic rom with various improvements built in. We wanted a 1Mb speccy, complete with task-switching kernel that supported an 'emulated' 48K mode. Never finished the design though :-(

oh!!!! That's sounds like fun... though I would port AROS to it :-)
