There are projects floating around the web to build 20MHz
ZX Spectrums and CP/M systems with the eZ80 :)

Rather than two banks of 64K and trying to fiddle with BASIC to
get it to access the correct bank at the correct time, the HiBASIC
method is a lot easier - assemble BASIC to run at &B800 instead of
&8000, with a skelton MOS at &F800 and PAGE at &800. 44K of
program and variable storage.

Not for BASIC 4, but I have for BASIC 2,
http://mdfs.net/BBCBasic/BBC/Basic2.src Gimme a chance and I'll
get around to BASIC IV at some time.

Fine until you try to run a machine code program that relies on
the idosyncrcies of the 6502's undefined instructions.

What about the Master Emulation ROM, see
