This isn't exactly related to Plan 9, but I've got a question: where do people get this type of hardware? I've looked for solo CPU's and things, and basically can't find them. You'd think it wouldn't be so hard to find a Z80 and a socket and some breadboard to plug it into, but it's remarkably hard.... - Dan C.
