- This is Z80MU PROFESSIONAL, a software package for the IBM PC which
- emulates the Intel 8080/8085 CPU, the Zilog Z-80 CPU, *AND* the
- original CP/M 2.2 (8-bit) operating system. If you have a NEC V20 or
- V30 chip, Z80MU PROFESSIONAL will grudgingly allow you to use it
- (bugs and all) to give very fast 8080 execution times.
-
- The public domain ancestor of this program was featured in BYTE
- magazine (Oct '86) as one of seven "Public Domain Powerhouses". This
- version (Z80MU PROFESSIONAL 5.2B) has been almost completely
- rewritten, and is even more accurate (if that's possible) than that
- original and very popular version 3.10 was. It is now screen driven
- and much more powerful from a software development/debugging
- standpoint, and *ACCURATELY* runs many more CP/M applications than
- Z80MU version 3.10 did.
-
- We still use Z80MU PROFESSIONAL to develop Z80 code for PC disk
- controllers, FAX machine internals, etc. Clients use it to run their
- CP/M business software that was developed at great cost 10 years ago
- but has never been ported to the PC ("...and of course the source
- code disappeared along with the original programmer back in '81...").
- Schools use it to teach assembler language programming, since it has
- a builtin full-screen Z80 debugger. Others have used it to reverse
- engineer modem ROMs, since it contains a smart disassembler that
- allows the reconstruction of source code from 8080/8085 or Z80 object
- code.
-
- Nowadays the demand for Z80MU comes more from Australia, Taiwan, and
- Europe than from the U.S. So we're posting it partly to make it more
- easily available to European network users who can't easily get Z80MU
- PROFESSIONAL off of one of the many BBS's on which it resides in the
- U.S.
