All of them, I think. Depends on whether E85 is ethanol-gasoline mix or a BMW model code.

I don’t know 6502.

Is Z 80 a mini bike?

Hmmm...

8088 = Intel
Z-80 = Zilog - CPU in the TRS-80 and many other micros
6502 = MOS - Same class of chip, based somewhat in the Motorola 6800, was the CPU in the Apple I and II, and several other micros, video games (Atari 2600, 5200), and other things like cars, and stuff that needed a cheap, basic processor.

What two did you get for RPG? One is pretty obscure now... Report Program Generator was a business-orientd programming language for the IBM System/3x series of minicomputers.
