Sorry, ambiguous, nothing wrong with the Z8400 or the Z80 in general; fine
architecture; I was just contrasting the more "ambiguous" design of a card
like that which is under discussion, to something that's just got an NCR
5380 or similar on it, that just jumps out at you and yells "SCSI!"
Best,
Sean
