In the 80's, I put a Z80 card in my Apple 2, just so I could run CP/M and Turbo Pascal. This.. wasn't that unusual.

Turbo Pascal, Wordstar, and dBase were the three killer apps that justified by buying a Z80 card for my Apple II back in the mid-80s.

TIL there there wasn't a 6502 version of Turbo Pascal, while there was a Z80 version. (And that was even the original target CPU.)
