With all this banter about Z80MU i am wondering if there is major interest
out there for a Z80 emulator that runs under UNIX.  I am currently working on
one of these since I am buying a REAL computer next month (i.e. a standalone
engineering workstation).  That way I can ditch my nasty S100 system but
still run some of CP/M software (Manx C, Turbo Pascal, etc) for generating
Z80 code for Z80-based controllers.  When I finish this thing (IF I finish
this thing, the way school is going right now), I am considering distributing
it to interested parties, probably free... if I do make it shareware, it will
be dirt cheap ($5-$10) for registration for updates/bug fixes.  Of course,
the source will be available...  So, really, is anyone interested?  If there
is enough interest, I can summarize the features of CP/M that I PLAN to 
support (like I said, I really only plan to run a few select pieces of 
software on my own system -- but I do plan to support the Z80 CPU completely).
