Subject: New processor rumour

Check inside your fancy space-age washing machine and odds are you'll
find a Z80 running the show.  The same goes with things as diverse as
VCRs, multiport serial port boards for PCs, traffic light controllers
and a whole host of other stuff.  I've seen several times in print the
statement that the Z80 is still the single most widely used cpu out
there.  It's powerful, stable and dirt cheap; to a designer these are
all very endearing qualities. :-)
