> I don't know much about the Zilog chip.

I've done a lot with the Z8, it's a nice chip, but development support
sucks.
I've got a nice Signum ICE for the E04,E08 and similar I'll sell you cheap,
say $4000?
The really fun part is it's all OTP or mask-rom, there's no flash parts.

Still, I wish they did, the flat orthagonal architecture is hard to beat.
(of course if they didn't divide the xtal by 8 it would be even better)


I use the AVR for most stuff now.
I'm selling my picmaster system as well.
