Lots of DVD drives use the Z80 and the successor chips (Z180, Z280, eZ80, etc), 
as have multiple manuafacturer's hard drives.... see the Z80 wikipedia article 
for many more.

As an old Z80 hack, it's nice to know that skills I picked up as a teenager 
might still be marketable......I can put on my resume 'wrote a Z80 disassembler 
in hexadecimal in less than 2K' with a straight face.  What I can't/won't do is 
put with it 'at age 16, in high school, on my free time.' as then it sounds 
ridiculous..... even though it would be quite true.

Way way OT.... at least until Fedora runs on a eZ80, that is.
