Also, if you squint right... a "z800" type design was basically the 286/386/486, no? The Z80 was a derivation of the 8080 architecture. 8086/286/386/486/Pentium was, too.

That amount of squinting would wreck your eyesight. The x86 line wasn't even close to binary compatible. The assembly language wasn't too hard to convert, but it still required work.
