anybody out there seen or heard anything about the Z800. Any companies planning to use it? Systems being anounced? Steve Grimaldi grim@umdu.arpa grim@umdu (bitnet)

According to the Zilog advance info sheet, the Z800 is object-compatible with the Z80, but not pin-compatible. It has additional indexing modes (not just that lame-o immediate byte), and a few other nifty things. I don't have the sheet handy, so if there's a clamor for more information, I might go to the trouble to track it down. -jns

I have the complete technical specification on the Z800 from Zilog, what I'm looking for is any companys anouncing systems that will use the Z800, since it is binary compatible with the Z80, it should be very attractive for designers of new systems
