Following from a trade rag that appears in my in-basket every so often
in the 'products to watch' section.

Zilog has announced Z80 higher-integration follow-ons and family
of data controllers.  higher integration: Z84013/84C13 -- serial i/o,
counter/timer.  Z84015/84C15 -- add parallel i/o, power-on reset,
2 chip-select pins, error-detection circuitry.  data comms: Z16C35 --
programmable bus arch, 4 DMA controllers, 3Mbit/s data transfer rate.
Z16C33 -- monochannel universal serial controller, SDLC support.

Don't know anything more about these chips than you see paraphrased
above, but it looks as if the 64180 on-chip integration cues have
been taken...
