Last I heard Zilog BK> was making dedicated controller chips. But CP/M has been esentially "dead" (ie no new versions, etc) for a *long* time. I understand that there is (or was) a 25 MHz Z-80 chip at one point. Maybe even as high as 50. Some of us TRS-80 folks were thinking about the possibility of designing and building a "Model 5" using one of those. --- FMailX 1.60* Origin: Shadowgard (1:105/50) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 105/50 360 106/2000 633/267 |
