I am looking for a Z80 CPU Software Emulator to run on the IBM PC.
Does such a thing exist - if so, does it exist as a software only package,
requiring no extra hardware???
Thanx in Advance for *ANY* help...

The emulator is fully described in the October 1986 issue of BYTE magazine. It is not only supposed to be capable of emulating the Z80 but is supposed to emulate CP/M as well. The author claims that the company has run *many* CP/M programs sucessfully including wordstar, Microsoft M80 and L80. The software is available from the ByteNet BBS system of from BYTE as a 5.25" diskette. Details are available in any BYTE magazine. To download the software from the BBS, one needs a communcations program with XMODEM capability (such as Procomm). It is very large but many BBS's carry the ByteNet stuff. Ashok C.

It's available on some BBS's around and the file name is Z80MU310.ARC It has a debugger more powerful than DDT built-in and a moderately powerful command line processor, but not as fancy as ZCPR. It gives you about 63K TPA, I believe. Its emulation speed comes in at somewhere around 600 KHz for compute-bound programs, but it accesses the disk at full MS-DOS speed, so that helps.
