Does anyone have a copy of the book 'The Ins and Outs of the Amstrad
CPC464' published by Melbourne House (mid 80s), which gives details of the
Zilog Z80a chip?

There are MANY books on the Z80A processor. The machines right before IBM
ran on them and all the original IBM software packages that were so popular
GOT that way on Z80A CP/M machines!!! If I am not mistaken, however, isn't
the Amstrad a dedicated wordprocessor and not a true general purpose
computer??

Well, the Ins&Outs is a book about the AMSTRAD internals (system calls and
hardware functions). Nice, but a bit dated, though.
For a Z80 book try to find one of the Zilog databooks, they're excellent
