For your information, the Z280 is perfectly real and has been available 
for a year or so. I have two myself, purchased from the localZilog 
distributor. What isn't yet available is much support, or even an 
assembler (though you can use any Z80 macro assembler and macros for the
extra instructions). This chip is a delight to program and makes the 
80286 look very sorry indeed. I must point out that it has a full 16-bit
data bus and ALU and most of the Z80-inherited instructions need 
considerably fewer clock cycles to execute than on the Z80.
