Not sure what you mean by a "Z80 Processor Adapter" ?
There are many emulations of the Z80, for example the RC2040 from Extreme Kits is the size of a credit card and runs CP/M on an emulated Z80 with 64k of RAM and an uncommitted I/O port for forty quid!
There are FPGA emulations, I have a Nascom-4 here in FPGA which is just like the real thing, if there was one!
There is also Hein Pragt's superb CP/M Z80 emulation for the PC: https://www.heinpragt.com/english/so...nt/cpmbox.html
What is this 'adapter' though?
Cheers
Phil

I think this is a reference to the legendary Z80 conversion for the MK14 which was advertised by a third party around 1980. Unfortunately we aren't aware of any surviving example of this extremely rare hybrid and the only info we have about it is what is contained in the ad.

There is no guarantee that anyone ever bought the conversion kit from its creator because by the time it was advertised the ZX80 had already been on the market for some months.
