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.
Sperry Univac UTS 40 CP/M 2.2 - Zilog 80 [12] Stride 400 series CP/M-68K was one of many operating systems on these; SWP ATR-8000 CPM 2.2 - Z80 4mhz; SWP ATR-8500 CPM 2.2 - Z80 4mhz 'Littleboard" form-factor; ZX Spectrum family (built by Amstrad)
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 NEC μCOM series is a series of microprocessors and microcontrollers manufactured by NEC in the 1970s and 1980s. The initial entries in the series were custom-designed 4 and 16-bit designs, but later models in the series were mostly based on the Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 8-bit designs, and later, the Intel 8086 16-bit design.
Cromemco Z2 advertisement, July 1977. Z-2 is a series of microcomputers made by Cromemco, Inc. which were introduced to the market in the middle to late 1970s.They were S-100 bus machines powered by the Zilog Z80 processor and typically ran on the CP/M operating system.
The Z80 ceased production in 2024. The Zilog Z8 micro controller (1978) was one of the first single-chip microcontrollers in the market. It integrated an 8-bit CPU, RAM, ROM and I/O facilities, sufficient for many control applications. Faggin conceived the Z8 in 1974, soon after he founded Zilog, but then decided to give priority to the Z80.
Aquarius is a home computer designed by Radofin and released by Mattel Electronics in 1983. Based on the Zilog Z80 microprocessor, the system has a rubber chiclet keyboard, 4K of RAM, and a subset of Microsoft BASIC in ROM.
Shima moved to Zilog in 1975 and, using only a few assistants, [8] developed the transistor-level and physical implementation of the Zilog Z80, under the supervision of Faggin, who conceived and designed the Z80 architecture to be an instruction set compatible with the Intel 8080.
