Hi,
I think you've misread the '63000', it's probably 68000.
The neogeo has a Z80A and a Motorola 68000 CPU. The 68000 is the main CPU
whereas the Z80 controls the YM2610 soundchip. This combination of
68000/Z80 is used in an awfull lot of machines, like the Sega Megadrive
(Genesis) and lots of arcade machines.
The Z80 in the MSX is a Z80A, that means it can run max. 4 MHz. There's
also a Z80B capable of 6Mhz and a Z80H (or 'C') which can do 8 (or 12, I'm
not sure).
Greetz,
Patriek
