[cctalk] Re: Last Buy notification for Z80 (Z84C00 Product line)

The legendary Ziglog Z80 CPU is being discontinued after nearly 50 years https://www.techspot.com/news/102684-zilog-discontinuing-z80-microprocessor… Seems while the Ziglog EZ80 is compatible and four times faster, it is in a more modern package, how dare they! 😉 https://www.zilog.com/docs/um0077.pdf Warning: Do not use Life Support.
