Unless of course you're talking about the chip design itself,
which I'm sure was a from-scratch design.

None of the
hardware I've used in the last 20 years (Z80, 6502,
6800, x86, PPC, etc.) would qualify as stack machines, and hence
my lack of faith. :-)
Well it is hard view them as general purpose computers, more
designed for simple character handleing or simple control.
The x86 I still am wondering is a 8080 hacked to 16 bits or not?
