That's nice - I didn't know about the eZ80. Equivalent to 200 MHz is 
really fast. BTW: The HD64180 I mentioned was also a compatible CPU 
which later became the Z180.

You're right - according to Wikipedia there were faster versions than 
10MHz of the real Z80. Obviously I didn't follow the news about later 
Z80 versions.
