Absolutey. I have a couple of IOP cards here complete
with Z-80, Z80-SIO and
firmware - very nice cards.

And 16K of RAM; also, that firmware is actually a monitor program which you can
access from either side (you can use a terminal on the 'output' side or use the
IOPEX
program to turn the main computer into a "terminal" talking to the monitor over
the
S100 bus), and play around in the IOP's memory etc.)
Essentially a small SBC in its own right.
