And you could probably have bought brand new Z80's for about two bits a
megahertz (4MHz for a dollar).

PLEASE do not compare bananas and strawberries (I almost said apples
and ... but lots of articles are posted comparing Apples to everything
else :-).  The WE32100 Microprocessor line is a line of full 32-bit
(32-bit addressing and 32-bit data paths and registers) machines with 
a full complement of support chips.  Do not confuse these chips with
"32 bit" chips that need extra registers to address more than 64K !!!
