I have the PD version of Z80MU, a full Z-80 and CP/M emulator for MS-DOS.
Not only can it read CP/M format disks, but it can also run Z-80 programs
and even run the emulated CPU in single-step mode. It dates from 1988 so
it isn't new, but it runs fine on all versions of DOS I've tried. The full
file is about 168K in ARC format so I won't be mailing a lot of copies.
I probably got it from Simtel-20 so you might also be able to find it on
the successor systems. If you can't find this and need it, let me know.
If anyone would like to provide an ftp home, that might be best.

I fun Z80MU, when I need to, under VP/ix under Xenix. Works there too!
