["Stefano" <flydream@xxxxxxxx>]

Mi rivolgo a Mario in particolar modo:
sarebbe possibile costruire un computer con processore Z8000 o meglio ancora 
con lo Z80000 (a 32 bit) compatibile al 100% con lo ZX? (tenendo conto che 
questi processori sono in tutto e per tutto compatibili col vecchio Z80) 
Secondo il sito:

The Z8000 can be found in some rare but well-known computers though, such as 
the Olivetti M20 and M40, and the Unix-based Commodore 900. Some third parties 
also manufactured the Z8000 including AMD, Hitachi and Sharp. 

The Z8000 was followed in 1986 by the Z80000, an amazing 32 bit processor whose 
features (pipeline, cache memory) would not appear until six years later in 
Intel processors. 
The Z8000 is still alive nowadays with the Z16C00, a CMOS version mainly used 
in embedded applications. 
Zilog also designed a UNIX "supermicro" system called the S8000 initally based 
on the Z8000, then the Z80000 with a UNIX based OS called Zeus.

Ricordo inoltre che la Zilog sta vendendo dei sistemi di sviluppo con 
processore a 32 bit (sempre compatibile Z80) e tutte le porte (seriale usb ed 
ethernet) gia' pronte all'uso: basta solo scrivere il software!

I cuginetti dell'MSX l'hanno gia' usato:
