In recent BYTE's, Micromint in Connecticut has been advertising their
SB180 single-board system.  It uses the Hitachi 64180 (Z-80 compatible
chip), has 256K RAM, 1 parallel & 2 serial I/O ports, and is 4" X 7.5"
in size.  It costs $449. with software.  Given the current cost of
floppy drives, one should be able to add two drives and a power supply
and come in for about $750-800.  Micromint's address/phone is 25 Terrace
Dr, Vernon CT 06066,  203-871-6170.

For even less, Ampro has their Z-80 'Little Board' for $249.  Same
general idea; but using the Z-80A as a processor.  Their address/phone
is Ampro Computers, 67 E Evelyn Ave, Mountain View CA 94041 415-962-0230.

Hope the information proves useful.
