If you think like this, you wouldn't need ANY new instructions! Ofcourse
you can do whatever new instruction the Z380 has in several leg

ofcourse they make sense on an 8 bit processor! They allow fully
relocatable programs. They are NOT about 32 bit addresses, but can be used
in 8, 16 o

Holas,
I have a nms 8235 which has a *whine* 360kb internal diskdrive. This is
no biggy though as i also have an external cannon VF-100 which is 720kb.
The reason of this post? The cannon is both A and B, and the internal
floppy is C. The external drive has a connector for another external
drive,

] IN F,(C) is not available in either of the processors.
This instruction actually exists on the Z80 and therefore also on the Z380.
Quote from the Z80 instruction table:
Mnemonic: IN r,(C)
Sym Operation: r <- (C)
Opcode: 11 101 101
01 r000
r stands for register:
000: B

You can read S#2

So, you can make a faster transfer for ADVRAM, with something like:

This MSX3... It's really not that hard to build (ofcourse that's a relative
term). This is what basically has to be done:
When it's finished (or almost finished), take Ademir's ACE002 board, remove
the Z180, insert a Z380 (leave A31-A16 and D7-
