@Zbig:

I wonder if you are really reading my messages, or only responding because you need to respond...
If you read more carefully my past messages, you would have noticed that I mentioned, in my 20 august message, this statement:

"Well, in my opinion, in this thread we should discuss only about standalone retro/homebrew computers provided with the Z80 CPU.
The "real" Z80 (Z84C00) or its "clones" (e.g. MK3880, LH0080, U880, MMN80CPU, ...) , with clock frequencies up to 20MHz.
Not Z180/Z280/Z800/R800/eZ80 ... "

There is an U880 clearly mentioned here... and you know why? Because I worked in the 80's with some East Germany manufactured computers... what about your past experiences related to East European Z80-based computers? Bulgarian, East-German, Romanian, Russian... ( I wrote real-time operating systems for Romanian computers... ).

But, it seems you are not really interested in the facts I mentioned, because you are targeting only one goal: "I am right, and you are wrong!"

As for AgonLight, see here: https://groups.google.com/g/retro-comp/c/nGfo3iKdZkY an opinion...

There are Pros, but also Cons...

But, again, in this conversation, in my opinion, we should talk only about Z80-based (NOT Z80-compatible) retro/homebrew computers.

My view on the terms Z80 & Z80-compatible is the following:

Z80 = "real" Z80 (Z84C00) or its "clones" (e.g. MK3880, LH0080, U880, MMN80CPU, ...) 
Z80-compatible = Z180/Z280/Z800/R800/eZ80 (...and others)

Once again, as I already said:

"In my opinion, retro computing is a hobby, a recreational activity.
Any categorization, limits or boundaries should be considered indicative and relative only.
Other, different opinions should always be acknowledged and accepted... and I will also comply with this rule of common sense.
So, please continue sharing your thoughts here about THIS topic..."

The current topic is "standalone Z80-based retro/homebrew computers". 
NOT "standalone Z80-compatible retro/homebrew computers"

Please, if some of you want to debate issues regarding "Z80-compatible retro/homebrew computers", or any other topic different from "Z80-based retro/homebrew computers", please do open a new Conversation, with an appropriate title, because I will not waste any more time responding to out-of-topic messages.
