[Paul Berger via cctalk]

I was attending a community college about that time studying to be an 
electronic technician.  We where working on getting some S100 8080 
systems going specifically we where building front panels that one of 
our instructors was designing all hand wirewraped and he kept changing 
his mind and w would have to strip out some of the wiring and apply his 
changes, one time when he came in with a change a goup of us said 
"right! that's it" and left and went to a pub down the street.  I recall 
him telling us about this fantastic new process that had come out that 
was a big improvement over the 8080, he was of course referring to the Z80.

Doesn’t time fly by? The Z80 processor could be bought in July 1976. It
along with Intel’s 8080 were the backbone of classic computing 50 years ago.

Happy computing,
