>I don't think that's quite right. The Z80 was 8 bit, the first 16 bit (from Intel) was the 8086. The Z8000 (I think) was Zilog's first 16 bit processor.

>[Update] Z-80 was 8 pit CPU with 16 bit address bus. Sort of a "half-breed".
First PC's were Z80, The first that came out with the 8086 was IBM Model 30, not sure what my PC Jr had but my ZX81 used the Z80. ;-)
