Yes, it would. As far as I know, Torch never made any boards that did that
- they all plugged into the external connectors (but as you mention, it was
common to put the Z80 boards inside the machine).
I'm not sure that I've ever seen a Torch Z80 fitted to a Master before,
though, only with model Bs. Presumably that was just a timeline thing, and
people had stopped using the Z80 copros by the time the Master was popular.
