I think they (or
something with a P/N similar to that) sticks in my mind as a
viable alternative to Z80's at one time...
Maybe you're thinking of the Zilog "official" part numbers. The 8400 was
the CPU, the 8430, the CTC; the 8470, the DART, etc.
No, this was a 3xxx part number. And I am pretty sure it
was a Mostek part. I know it wasn';t a "Z80" but it was
something that grabbed our interest at the time (we were
having problems getting certain Zilog peripherals...)
