It used several Z-80s. He presented a paper on using it as a tool to inexpensively teach parallel architecture (I believe at an IEEE conference). Last I heard he was teaching a Corpus Christi State University in Texas (part of the Texas A&M system). Wish I could remember more information, but if you contact the schools computer science department they can put you together with Robert. If you talk to Robert tell him I said hello:) Patrick Horgan phorgan@cup.portal.com
