The reason I had the URL handy is because I spotted one this weekend.
This one has a bunch of spare cards in the empty cab of the bottom module,
including a CPU card with an AMD-made Z8000 on it. The spares were fairly
early vintage.
The plugged-in CPU card was a bit odd. It was 1986/1987 vintage and
appeared to have Z80000-series chips (yes, that has the right number of
zeros). I remember Zilog making a Z80000, but I don't know any details.
Was it Z8000-compatible? This particular machine is labeled as a Zilog
asset, so there's a chance it includes goodies that didn't make it into
the real world.
Sam is making room for it in his garage as we speak :-)

Are those machines common on this list?
