Oh yeah. I had loads of 6502 and Z80 systems (still do in fact). Can’t believe I forgot about that!
Though in fairness, I do mostly now just use those systems to teach my kids BASIC

Just curious how do you teach kids BASIC. I’m sure my 6 year old won’t sit tight.

Well, most of the addressing modes of the Z80 used a 16-bit register pair (i.e. 0 to 64K-1 bytes) to address, the 6502 used a somewhat stranger set of addressing modes, but once again you could address 0 to 64K-1 bytes.

Psst! Let's blow their minds and tell them about the MC68008. (-:
