Don't mention the Pentium. <Basil Fawlty impersonation optional> No, what you need is a PPC 601 PowerPC chip. That would probably emulate a fast Z80 and a lot of ASIC functions faster than the real thing. But getting back to reality briefly, I don't think Simon and chums were thinking of emulation, I think they wanted a chip which would speak z80 opcodes directly. /<eith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED];http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ccaakrt/;...and deeper understanding
