Has anyone ever tried substituting an EZ80 microcontroller in place of a Z80A Cpu?
Specifically; I was thinking it might help solve some of the cpu lag issues seen in the higher levels of the G80 Star Trek.
According to the Z80 WIKI; the EZ80 can retire instructions at an average of 3.5x faster. Supposedly it’s binary compatible with the original Z80A.
By no means is such a conversion trivial – was just curious what people may have tried or have comments on?
I’ve only taken a cursry scan of the Datasheet:
