I am looking for a Z80 CPU Software Emulator to run on the IBM PC.
Does such a thing exist - if so, does it exist as a software only package,
requiring no extra hardware???

Thanx in Advance for *ANY* help...

There is such a beastie available in the public domain.  The emulator is fully
described in the October 1986 issue of BYTE magazine.  It is not only 
supposed to be capable of emulating the Z80 but is supposed to emulate CP/M
as well.  The author claims that the company has run *many* CP/M programs
sucessfully including wordstar, Microsoft M80 and L80.  The software is
available from the ByteNet BBS system of from BYTE as a 5.25" diskette.  Details
are available in any BYTE magazine.  To download the software from the BBS, one
needs a communcations program with XMODEM capability (such as Procomm).  It
is very large but many BBS's carry the ByteNet stuff.

I have used a PD program that emulates a Z80 CP/M system pretty well,
albeit slowly.  It's available on some BBS's around and the file
name is Z80MU310.ARC

It has a debugger more powerful than DDT built-in and a moderately
powerful command line processor, but not as fancy as ZCPR.  It gives
you about 63K TPA, I believe.  Its emulation speed comes in at somewhere
around 600 KHz for compute-bound programs, but it accesses the disk
at full MS-DOS speed, so that helps.

There's a software package called z80mu that emulates a Z-80 based
cp/m-80 system on the PC.  It's available from BBS's.  If you have
a NEC v-20 CPU installed, there are packages that support that
too.
