   What z80 based device is of the most abundance, such that I existing stockpiles and salvage could yield new harvest devices? I'm leaning on the Texas instruments calculators or maybe the zx spectrum? Spectrum seems a tough sell, even post collapse there would be collectors.

     @neauoire @floatvoid the gameboy processor isn’t *quite* a z80, it’s custom has a few features and instructions removed and a few other features added.

     this would seem like pedantry except that it strictly means it cannot run the cp/m operating system which you might expect a z80 to be able to do.

     i don’t know if other z80 os’s are compatible with it either

     @floatvoid in america I'm pretty sure that the classic gameboy is more common than the zx spectrum.
