Does anyone know if any vendors are working on S-100 boards using the new Hitachi HD64180 microprocessor? It seems like a natural for either CP/M Plus or Z-system. It runs 8080 or Z-80 machine code, has on-chip serial I/O, DMA controller, and programmable timers, and memory management for a 512K memory address space. It should reasonably make a single board computer and a full-feature S-100 bus board with RAM, ROM, serial I/O, and a floppy disk controller. Bob Haar G.M. Research Labs

Yes, I have heard rumors which I believe to be true about Quadram coming out with an S-100 board which is based on the 64180. It is running the Z System, and I am supposed to see it in a month or so. More on that later. Also, look at the recent Echelon newsletters. I think you will find hints/more info dropped here. Rick -------
