There's already an inexpensive eZ80F91 development board from Zilog for
the budget conscious -only $99. And it's complete with cables, jtag
debugger, IDE, and C compiler. It has an ethernet port among other
interfaces. It doesn't have USB, but easily done with a RS232-USB
converter. The expansion interface provides all the GPIO's to let you
connect a floppy interface.And it's available from Mouser or Digikey.

The base eZ80SBC from howard is $250. Add $100
for the disk board...
Hmmm, I suppose if a SASI interface and ST412 interface could be added
to talk to those kind of devices too, $250 wouldn't be too bad for the
'core' portion. $350 for just a floppy interface is perhaps a little
on the high side, though.
(Someone here was working on a generic ST412 interface - presumably
over-sampling tack data and processing in software - weren't they?
Can't remember who it was now...)
