Huh, too bad they didn't think of that when they were introducing the
C128, it would have created an additional reason to buy one that
involved running it in C128 mode. Also too bad they did not run the
Z80 on the dot clock with wait states to synchronize with the system
bus, then the CP/M would have been competitive with the current CP/M
state of play.

Well, while we're at it, why not having a ZX Spectrum emulator for the C128? After all, they could share the same CPU ( Z80 ). The Spectrum was such a piece of crap it wouldn't surprise me to see it perfectly emulated on the C128. When I opened up a Speccy I got for 1 EUR from a Gypsy ( no pun and no joke, guys ) I couldn't find anything else than the ULA and the Z80. The ULA is a gate array... What did that toy use for graphics?

The ULA.
