The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed by Zilog that played an important role in the evolution of early computing. Launched in 1976, it was designed to be software-compatible with the Intel 8080 , offering a compelling alternative due to its better integration and increased performance.
The Dick Smith Super-80 was a Zilog Z80 based kit computer developed as a joint venture between Electronics Australia magazine and Dick Smith Electronics.. It was presented as a series of construction articles in Electronics Australia magazine's August, September and October 1981 issues.
The Z-2 was a Z80–based microcomputer system that was introduced in 1977. The original Z-2 in kit form included a ZPU-K Z80 CPU card, S-100 bus motherboard , all-metal rack-mount chassis and dust case, card socket and card guide; the assembled form included a complete set of sockets and card guides, and a cooling fan.
Many microcomputer makes and models could run some version or derivation of the CP/M disk operating system.Eight-bit computers running CP/M 80 were built around an Intel 8080/8085, Zilog Z80, or compatible CPU.
The Enterprise is a Zilog Z80-based home computer announced in 1983, [1] but due to a series of delays, was not commercially available until 1985. [2] It was developed by British company Intelligent Software and marketed by Enterprise Computers.

The Micro-Professor MPF-I is a microcomputer released by Multitech (later renamed Acer) in 1981.The company's first branded product, it was marketed as a training system to learn machine code and assembly language for the Zilog Z80 microprocessor.
The program was designed to make Z80 machine code programming easier, [1] with full symbolic instructions, and an editing style similar to the Spectrum's built-in BASIC. Zeus Assembler was later re-released by the manufacturer of the ZX Spectrum, Sinclair Research. A Commodore 64 version was released in 1984. "Zeus 64 Assembler".
