Craig,

I'm putting s= ome things together to send to you. Besides the Z8s I have some other chips= you may want. I have a large number (about 20) of 8741. With that number I= thought it might make a good project board that could be shared with the c= ommunity.=C2=A0

6116 Static= RAM - 200ea.

CDP1802 CP= U=C2=A0 - 20ea.

1820-237= 6=C2=A0 -=C2=A0 some HP mystery chip.=C2=A0 -=C2=A0 35ea.

=C2=A0

I will obviously never use most of these parts so I figure= d just share some. So let me know if you want some 'samples' of the= above. I know you are into 8085 so I will send you a=C2=A0 few of these to= o.=C2=A0 It's mucho appreciated what you do.
