I doubt there's a port of the kernel for the z80/z180 architecture, not to mention all the other utilities. I personally use my old bns640 occasionally for what it was designed to do, and am happy with that kind of usage. For more modern usage, I have an android phone, and a laptop, both of which take care nicely of what my bns can't do, and 99% of what it can do.
