Subject: Is the Z180 equivalent to the 64180?

Hello!

I've never heard of a Z180!? But there is an Z280
made by Zilog. It's just wonderful, it's a virtual memory
16-bit Z80 (extended instr. set) with MMU, instr. pipeline
and data/instr. cache. AND lots more.
It currently runs under a 10MHz clock (Xtal = 20MHz) but future
versions will be as fast as 25MHz. The 10MHz version is approx.
3 times faster than a 5 MHz Z80.

Running minix on this chip would be very nice!

How do you order the magazine?
