Hi.
8088 is a 8086 core fitted with a 8bit Data Bus, so
word accesses are made in 2 cycles. It's just cheaper
so, there is nothing like military grade in here.
Libraries usually do not throw away books ;-), so there is a lot
of information about historic processors found there.
The Z80 is a souped up and extended Version of the 8080.
It is *not* kompatible to the 8088, but could replace the
8080 (at least as far as software is concerned).
