They have had a long and relatively happy life. They were never able to gain enough market share in the post 8-bit CPU era. There were two remarkable designs the 16-bit RISC like Z8000 and the never released 32-bit Z80000. Both were pretty advanced designs sufficient to run as UNIX workstations. Zilog went to the embedded market. And the Z8000 is still produced as the Z16C00 series. MvH Dan Andersson > >Thanks, >Gerd > >> >>Thanks, >>Eugene >> >>>[...]
