Well, a Z80 will run 8085 code that limits itself to 8080 instructions.
But the 8085 has two documented instructions (RIM SIM) that the 8080
doesn't have--and a few more "undocumented" instructions (nonetheless used
by many embedded programs) that neither the 8080 nor the Z80 has.
Initially I thought that the Rabbit was a good idea--until I started to
program it. What did you do with (insert a list of instructions)? And an
interesting bug or two. Feh.
