 Zilog Z80 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Z80 was also used in the Norwegian Tiki 100 computers, which were the computers of choice in Norwegian primary schools during the late 1980s.
This makes sense as the Z80 (like, for instance, the 6502) was really intended for embedded use, not for personal computers or the, yet to be invented, home computers.
Software emulation of the Z80 instruction set on modern PCs runs faster than the original Z80 CPU ran and is used today for home computer simulators (such as ZX Spectrum) and also for video game emulators such as MAME, which executes 1980s vintage video games.

 Z80
Z80 is an emulator for the Intel 8080 and 8085 processors, and the Zilog Z80 processor.
I wrote this about 13 years ago (even then, the Z80 was archaic) as a test bed for the Computer Emulator Framework.
Source is included for the emulator itself, but the subroutine library used by the emulator is available separately (however, the subroutine library has evolved and probably won't compile with Z80 in its current form).

 09.24.98  Zilog Z80/80180/80380: EDN's 25th Annual Microprocessor/Microcontroller Directory
Unlike with the Z180, development support for the Z380 is minimal; Zilog provides an assembler, an evaluation board, and a Production Languages Corp (www.plcorp.com) C compiler with an optimizer program to improve performance and code size.
Zilog supplies several evaluation boards and a low-cost emulator.
The Z80 memory-address space is 65 kbytes, and the I/O space accesses as much as 256 bytes.

 Know it all Inc. (Z)
The Z80 was a much improved {Intel 8080} (as was the {Intel 8085}).
In addition to the original Z80 (2.5 MHz) there are the {Intel Z80A} (4 MHz), {Intel Z80B} (6MHz) and {Intel Z80H} (8 MHz) versions.
The Z8 is not related to the {Zilog Z80}, it uses a totally different architecture and {instruction set}.

 The Old Joel on Software Forum - Why did Zilog fail?
Back in the times of Intel 8080, the Zilog Z80 microprocessor was a lot better than 8080.
Zilog shrunk (they were once owned by Exxon!) because they went from 1 8 bit Z80 hugely successful processor to a pure 16 bit processor (Z8000?).
They broke backward compatibility with the Z80 at a time when intel was smart to come out with 8088 which was a combo 8/16 processor cheaper to design for and which would use many existing off the shelf chips including memory due to its 8 bit wide bus.

 Z80
Z80 The Z80 series of processors is a CISC design and is not being used in too many new stand-alone computer systems,...
In the 1970s it became a standard for microcomputers based on the Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 8-bit microprocessors.
The Rainbow, released between 1982 and 1986, used an Intel 8088 to run MS/DOS, but could also run CP/M programs because its Z80 keyboard processor served as an alternate CPU.

 Zilog Z80 8-Bit Microprocessor
Z80 and the Z80 assembly language are trademarks of ZILOG, Inc.)
One of the more useful features of the Z80 is the built-in refresh circuitry for ease of design with DRAMs.
It has a language of 252 root instructions and with the reserved 4 bytes as prefixes, acceses an additional 308 instructions.

 Sequence Enumeration
The original Z80 (a 2MHz part) was a souped-up version of the then-popular Intel 8080 processor.
The EIR is the same as the I register on the Z80 and thus contains the upper byte of an interrupt vector table.
A context switch for the Z80 is shown in Figure 6.

 Zilog Z80A Technical Information
Most Z80 opcodes are one byte long, not counting a possible byte or word operand.
The purpose of the DAA (Decimal Adjust Accumulator) instruction is to make an adjustment to the value in the A register, after performing a binary mathmatical operation, such that the result is as if the operation were performed with BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) maths.
Rodnay Zaks in his book 'Programming the Z80' states that only even bytes are allowed as low index byte, but that isn't true.

 ZiLOG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zilog was incorporated in California in 1974 by Federico Faggin, who left Intel after working on the 8080, and the Z80 was a vast improvement over it (it was faster, etc.).
ZiLOG, often seen as Zilog, is a manufacturer of 8-bit CPUs, and is most famous for its Intel 8080-compatible Z80 series.
As well as producing processors, Zilog has produced several other components.

Zilog has added more instructions and changed mnemonics, but the basic core of instructions works the same and has the same opcodes in both 8080 and Z80.
Zilog adopted a different (and more logical) set of mnemonics, possibly because Intel claimed that the 8080 mnemonics were copyrighted.

Zilog proposes this as a remedy for consumer OEMs, who have thus far been evaluating more expensive microcontrollers and contemplating several megabytes of RAM to enable the Internet Protocol.
The OEMs for these systems have decades of experience with the Z80 and this new core Zilog has made code compatible with previous Z80 versions.
Le Lannic said that long-time Z80 user Hypercom Corp., Phoenix, a point-of-sale or electronic transaction terminal maker, will migrate to the eZ80 and add Web functionality to its systems.

 OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : HISTORY / detailed info
Zilog also designed a UNIX "supermicro" system called the S8000 initally based on the Z8000, then the Z80000 with a UNIX based OS called Zeus.
Two versions were released, the Z8001 capable of addressing 8 MB of memory via segment registers, and the Z8002 which could only address 64 KB.
An optional Z8010 MMU (Memory Management Unit) co-processor allowed up 48 MB of memory to be addressed.

 The Z8000 / Z80,000 / Z16C00 CPU homepage
The Z8000 CPU series has been Zilog's contribution in the "Processor War" (i.e the competition between various 16-bit microprocessor designs during 1978-1985, before the Intel 80*86 family came out as the winner), and was introduced in 1979 between the 8086 CPU (Intel) and the 68000 CPU (Motorola).
The Z8000 CPUs appeared in two versions; a large memory version (Z8001) with 8 Mbyte addressing capability, and a small memory version (Z8002) with 64 Kbyte addressing capability.

TI's TI-8x line of calculators (except the TI-89), of course, uses a processor based on the ZiLOG Z80 (as well as many other ancient computers such as the ol' TRS-80).
I assume this means that Z80 processors will still be available for TI.
The filing, which depends on the formalising of the bondholder deal, will still allow Zilog to continue trading with customers.

Although it wouldn't be bad for someone to design software and hardware to run a web server off an 86.
It looks like it will offer a host of improvements that could possibly lead to better calculators being developed in the future.
