There must be millions. Check out http://www.digikey.com/ as one
example of a supplier.
Atmel is just one manufactuer that produces a whole line. I've used
various models of their 8-bit RISC units (they have others) with
excellent success. You can write C for them with gcc or use the
assembler. The assembler is easy enough but lots of nice libraries
already exist for C. See the ATmega8 or others at digikey.
Modern MCUs have everything. Very little outboard hardware needed --
much more self contained than that old Z80.
