an emulator was recently released on the network.  don't know the
details, I haven't tried it.

You Bet!!  The C Users Group has released a diskette of cross assmebler
sources that includes one for the Z80 written by Will Colley (sp??)
called "AZ80" (I think).  I run it on an MS-DOS machine, and find it
quite nice.  I believe it was also posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc *VERY*
recently.  It is written in C, so I see no reason why an enterprising
Sun-ite couldn't port it to UNIX (or most any place that has a decent
C compiler.)
