   Starting in 1979 the Heath/Zenith computers shifted form the Intel 8080   
   CPU to the Z-80 with the introduction of the H88/H89 and the Z79   
   In early 1982 the Z100 had both the 8080 CPU and the Z80   
   In 1985 they introduced the Z181 and thwe Z183 with only the 8080 CPU   
   A little while later they dropped the 8080 and went with 80286 and then   
   the 80386
