The Z280 is a bigger, faster cpu than the Z80.  It's generally
a superset, although I don't think it will run Z80 code.  I'm
not entirely sure of that.  I know one of their supersets won't
run Z80 code and I think it's the Z280 but I'm not sure.

As to why it's there, maybe it's a mistake.  There is a Z80
book published by Zilog.  I saw one a couple of months ago in
 a book store.
