Ah come on Richard.  The Robin comes with a Z80 (as did the Rainbow).
Sure, it has a DEC 21-class part number on it, but it's a Z80.  The 
Z80 version should run just fine.  It's interesting how soon the Robin
is forgotten at DEC. (They were referring users to me a year ago!)

By the way, anyone have an 8088 Focal?
