thats a tall claim as the z80 is available up to 20mhz and z180s to 33mhz.
Then you can also use he Z380 is z80 native mode (it uses fewer clocks
per instruction than any other z80) at 20mhz (faster are supposed to
exist.).
Of course this was before the Z280 was in production. However I called a
friend last night who still uses this setup and he said that a PII/400
reports an equivalent Z80 speed of 63.2Mhz. Guess it depends on the PC. He
did say that L80 and M80 were quite snappy :-)
