Exactly. And of those, only the Z-80 has any meaningful software base for the (8-bit) Apple II platform. All the others are just a basis for experiments--not that there's anything wrong with that. ;-) Of course, the 65816 (et al.) is a special case, since it has a compatibility mode (in which it is a 65C02). -michael NadaPong: Network game demo for Apple II computers!
