   Probably not.  Z80MU does not implement a complete and accurate CP/M
system.  It does a good enough job to allow one to run most standard CP/M
application programs, but it cannot handle operating-system-level stuff.

   However, there is an extremely nice program by Simeon Cran of
Australia called MYZ80.  It creates a totally complete CP/M environment,
including the file system, and it runs anything that will run under CP/M. 
It took me less than a minute to have an NZCOM version of Z-System
running under it.  Look for the file MYZ80100.ZIP on BBSs and (I hope) on
SIMTEL20.  My 486 PC is now by far my highest performance Z-System
Z80/Z180 computer
