  Zilog
  
     <company> The microprocessor manufacturer who produced the
     Zilog Z80 in July 1976 (as used by Sinclair in the
     ZX-80, ZX-81 and ZX Spectrum computers) and later the
     Zilog Z8000.
  
     Zilog was founded in 1974 and became a wholly owned subsidiary
     of Exxon Corp. by 1980.  The company's management and
     employees purchased Zilog back from Exxon in 1989.  Zilog
     became a publicly-held company in February, 1991.  In March of
     1998, Zilog was privatised, as a result of the merger and
     recapitalisation transaction by Texas Pacific Group (TPG).
  
     Zilog now produce a range of 8-bit microcontrollers, 8-, 16-
     and 32-bit microprocessors, and digital signal processors,
     covering the home entertainment, communications, and embedded systems
      markets.
