Yes, you can, but you can't buy a single-chip microcontroller, using the Z80
core, not some "sorta" Z80-like" thing, that requires no external
components
except a clock.
If it has to have external memory, external peripherals, or anything other
than the oscillator, then the parts count will be too high.

Due to a failure in filters I read:
>Single-chipper is the key term, though. The Z80 isn't a single-chipper,
nor
is the 64180 or
the Z380, or the 6502.
This statement is ambiguous at best. While you can still buy a Z80 MPU you
can also buy both "high integration" Z80's that have peripherals etc on
chip as well as Z80 "cores" for integration into FPGA's.
