Anyone interested in how things like this work and are built should checkout Ben Eaters channel on youtube. It is glorious.

Why not use an actual Z80 or Z180? They’re still in production.

Here's the SC126 single board computer with CP/M in ROM (flash). https://www.tindie.com/products/tindiescx/sc126-z180-sbc-mot... with a Z180 running at over 18 MHz. Much faster than any Dynabyte, Northstar, Cromemco, and so on that were available back in the day.

This one at least has a terminal ;-)

I have the SC131, which is similar but small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. Good fun!
