   The C128 indeed has a Z80, for CP/M mode. In fact, the computer boots using   
   the Z80.   
      
   It has an Assembler monitor, but I think Lucifer means two screens at once.   
      
   It actually can, one using the 40 collumn mode and one the 80 character one.   
      
   I've even seen this done in real life.
