Actually it's surprising that the CMOS Z80 didn't work. The CMOS parts
are intended to be a drop-in replacement for the NMOS; unless they
have an "L" suffix, they are 5V, with TTL-compatible input thresholds.
I've replaced NMOS Z80 parts with CMOS equivalents in a number of
systems without difficulty.
