Before you get too enthusiastic, bear in mind that the Z80 in the TI-85 is
a low-power, surface mount model manufactured by Toshiba, probably with
some customization. It is highly unlikely that any Z80 you buy will work
in the TI-85, even if you could get it installed (it's a surface mount
device, not meant to be soldered in by human hands).
