Not exactly.  The V30 has an 8080 emulation mode, not a Z80 emulation
mode.  Big difference - lots of instructions are missing.

It would not be compatible with most Apple II CP/M software, since they
expect a Z80, and may depend on hardware details of the Apple II CP/M
cards.  (It may be difficult to access the floppies as well.)
