Actually I'm not done with it. just have the
time. The fundemental
problem is not really which is faster, I think for the real world
applications they are likely close but the arguement is flawed. It
misstates the z80 and 6502 timing vs real useage.
What's funny is I have a kim one I can run and a
z80 SBC for comparison.
I remember, around 1978/9 some articles in a German magazine calles
Funkschau (primary a radio / electronics magazine, but they added
_four_ pages of uP informations) about the same thing - in one issue
some guy showed that a Z80 could do a specific task faster than a
6502, while in the next issue anoter man just proved that the 6502
code could be optimated to run even faster and so on...
Gruss

Maybe I should do some magazinepiledives :)
