  Zilog Z80
The Z80 was designed to be binary compatible with the Intel 8080 so that most 8080 code could run unmodified on it, notably the CP/M operating system.
The Z80 offered three real improvements over the 8080: a built-in memory controller for DRAM that would otherwise have to be provided by external circuitry, a much lower price, and a limited ability for SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) with block move and copy instructions.
The Z80 quickly took over from the 8080 in the market, and became the most popular 8-bit CPU of all time - indeed, if one takes the absolute size of the market into account, the most sucessful CPU ever.

 Z80   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Z80 is an emulator for the Intel 8080 and 8085 processors, and the Zilog Z80 processor.
Z80 is provided free of charge and with no warranty whatsoever including any warranty of fitness for any purpose including MERCHANTABILITY.
Source is included for the emulator itself, but the subroutine library used by the emulator is available separately (however, the subroutine library has evolved and probably won't compile with Z80 in its current form).

Z80 CPU architecture -- --- --- ------------ TRANSPARENCY: Z80 ARCHITECTURE A. The Z80 is a pure 8-bit microprocessor, which means that its internal registers and data paths (as well as its external data bus) are 8 bits wide.
C. The Z80 is basically a one-accumulator machine, which means that for most arithmetic and logical operations the A register (the accumulator) contains one of the source operands and receives the result of the operation.

 The Z80 Lives!
Whenever an IN A,(C) or OUT (C),A instruction is executed, both the Z80 and 64180 issue the contents of C as the low order port address, and the contents of B as the high 8 bits of the address.
On the Z80, all mode 2 vectors are taken from a table in the memory page specified by the setting of the I register (which can be accessed by the LD I,A instruction).

 Z80 Project
Both the Z80 and the programmer are connected to the memory the usual way, but there is a simple logic circuit that controls their access to the memory.
When the programmer releases the memory, Z80 recovers from the reset state and starts executing the code in the memory.
Switching between the programmer and the Z80 run modes is done by toggling a switch.

The Z80 samples the data on its' data bus on the rising edge of the clock.
Data must be stable at the pins of the Z80 CPU chip some time before the rising edge of the clock to ensure that the Z80 reads correct data.
In the case of the 4 MHz Z80, it could be as long as 85ns after the clock.

 The Z80 Microprocessor
At their new company Faggin and Shima designed a microprocessor that was compatible with Intel's 8080 (it ran all 78 instructions of the 8080 in exactly the same way that Intel's chip did) but had many more abilities (an extra 120 instructions, many more registers, simplified connection to hardware).
The flags are changed whenever an arithmetic operation is done and the flags can be tested one at a time by a jump instructions to change the flow of the program, depending on the state of the flag.
The Z80 allows three combinations: registers B and C can be combined to form a 16-bit register that is called BC, registers D and E combined to form DE, and H and L combined to form HL.

 Introduction to Z80 Assembler
The Z80 is one of the most popular microprocessors of the 80's having been used in many home computers systems of that era.
The Z80 stores its numbers and does all its maths (most of the time) using registers - these are a set of 8 bit numbers that are stored internally (actually it's a bit more complicated by we'll get to that in a bit).
The Z80 cannot know whether or not a number is positive or signed in this system and handle the two zeros correctly for subsequent instructions.

 Icarus Productions - Z80 FAQ
The Z80 is indeed a very old processor, I think it was first released in 1977 (correct me if I'm wrong).
As the Z80 is an 8-bit processor, these registers are all 8-bit wide, this means they can hold any value from 0-255 (= 8 bit or one byte).
Finally, this bit is also used for two unrelated functions: during the block transfer and search instructions, this flag is used to detect whether the counter register BC has attained the value 0.

 Z80 File Format
.z80 files are memory snapshots - they contain an image of the contents of the ZX Spectrum memory at a particular instance in time.
As a result of this, they cannot be used to reproduce the original tape from a snapshot file, but do load almost instantaneously.
The.z80 format was originally developed by Gerton Lunter for use in his Z80 emulator, and three versions of the format, as saved by Z80 versions 1.45 (and earlier), 2.x and 3.x (and later) are in use.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Generating Zilog Z80 style mnemonics from Intel 8080 code is possible because the 8080 has an instruction set that is a compatible binary subset of those of the Z80.
Not all of the S-100 lines were clearly defined and since the S-100 could be used with a variety of processors including the Intel 8080, Zilog Z-80 and Motorola 6500 and 6800 microprocessors some lines were only generated by certain microprocessors.
Consequently, Z80 assembler (even if restricted to the 8080 subset) appears quite different even though the resulting binary image is identical.
