The question you should be asking that I never got answered a few years ago
when I was heavy into the Atari 8-bit scene was this...can you put more than
256K in an ATR-8000 equipped with a Co-Power 88?  As for the Z80 running
concurrently, I doubt it.  Probably the ideal thing to do would be to pop out
the 8088 in the Co-Power 88 and replace it with an NEC V20 which can emulate
CP/M.  The ATR 8000 is a great piece of hardware, but it is somewhat stripped
down to what it could have been.
