[...] do you think it's a valuable target to have in upstream qemu?
The z80 was also used in the more modern TI-83 Plus programmable
calculator [1], for instance
The general I/O framework is heavily geared towards server and
desktop use. The main use case of the Z80 that I'm aware of is the
GameBoy. Not sure that one fits in there too well :).
The Spectrum however does fit the desktop case, so it certainly has
my blessings.
Knowing the ZX Spectrum only from the attic, I agree that emulating
game consoles is not the primary purpose or strength of QEMU.
(Although I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to contribute a PS3
machine for Cell B.E. emulation!)
Fwiw mips, arm, m68k, cris, microblaze seem to form a growing third
category of QEMU targets though, embedded systems.
