Now, there's still the good old LC80, an East German Z80 (U880)
based SBC, which could be orderen in a folder stly case.

If Multitech, I'd be realy looking for the MPF II!

Now, beeing a 6502 Geek from the beginning and a long
time 8086 assembly programmer, I can't realy follow
that. The 8086 is in my eyes one of the finest designs
around. What I realy dislike is the Z80 ... if there
was ever a CPU with an instruction set designed using
a random number generator, it's the Z80!
