The Z800 has been threatening to exist for several years now. I saw
some preliminary data sheets back in '82, but never any samples.  After 
a while, I mentally wrote it off, but recently Zilog has been running 
glossy ads offering to send interested parties a videotape depicting the
wonders of the Z800 and the Z80000 (their 32-bit pipelined Z8000).
I'm not sure whether this means that the Z800 is finally happening or
that the Z80000 is trapped in the Phantom Zone ;-)
