I have seen documentation of three commercial Z8000 systems; the
Olivetti M20, the Zilog system 8000 (I think that was its name), and the
Ithica DPS-8000
==
Central Data in Champaign/Ubana made a Multibus Z8K board that they sold
with their OS and Xenix.
I'll get the docs up on bitsavers for it eventually. I also have some stuff
for the Zilog S8000

Oh man... now THERE is a memory I had buried... I did a conversion of
some COBOL code (using RM/COBOL) that was on an MP/M system, and moved
it to a Zilog System 8000... they ran a version of Unix called ZEUS
(Zilog Enhanced Unix System), based on System III (I believe).
I always thought it would be fun to find a working box...

I've got one. I'm not sure if it's working, but it's complete. I also
have the install tapes (I believe). No manuals though...

Hi Mark,
I'm not interested in parting with it, but if you're nearby you're welcome
to come over and play with it, or even bring it back to your place for an
extended borrow.
