If the Z800 never entered production, then how could it have been used in "MSX Turbo R" computers?? Stan 17:43, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

IIRC they were the Hitachi versions, not the "real" Zilog ones. Things are somewhat confused by the fact that both the Z800 and Z8000 were to be released at the same time, MANY sources confuse the two.

Hitachi licensed the design then? I know nothing of this period in Zilog history, seems like a curious story. Stan 16:46, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)

However Zilog essentially ignored the Z800 in favour of their 32-bit Z8000 there is definitely a mistake in this sentence: the Z8000 was/is a 16-bit processor, the 32-bit Zilog processor was/is the Z80000. Since I don't know if the 32-bit or the Z8000 is wrong here I did not change anything so far IOOI 01:10, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] z280?

Article sounds like Z800 was burried before beeing born. But Z280 article sais that Z800 architecture was re-launched when moved from NMOS to CMOS technology.

If that is true - IMHO Z280 should be mentioned in this areticle as a Z800 spin-off

[edit] Disambiguation

I came to this page assuming to find an article about the Z800 3D visor. What about transforming this page into a disambiguation page with the links to Z800 (processor) and Z800 (visor)? -- Devil Master 14:19, 11 Sep 2006 (MET)
