<Sure. I was commenting about Tim's comment of a dedicated Z-80 for the
<FDC. AFAIK there isn't. There is a Z80, but it can run user programs.

The z80 when not running user programs is dedicated to floppy IO. When it
is running CPM80 code it's still servicing the Floppy.

<The colour graphics card was pretty nice as well. It's got a 7220
<graphics copro on it...

I know... I was at NEC when we sold it to DEC. we were trying to get them
to use the 765 floppy but the alreay had to many WD chips.
