There is such a beastie available in the public domain.  The emulator is fully
described in the October 1986 issue of BYTE magazine.  It is not only 
supposed to be capable of emulating the Z80 but is supposed to emulate CP/M
as well.  The author claims that the company has run *many* CP/M programs
sucessfully including wordstar, Microsoft M80 and L80.  The software is
available from the ByteNet BBS system of from BYTE as a 5.25" diskette.  Details
are available in any BYTE magazine.  To download the software from the BBS, one
needs a communcations program with XMODEM capability (such as Procomm).  It
is very large but many BBS's carry the ByteNet stuff.
