Did anyone ever make a generic plug into socket Z80 accelerator? I did a cursory google search and really didn't see much and was wondering if any of you know if such a beast exists?

Actually I'm mostly interested in a CPU socket plug in accelerator that (in theory) could be used in any Z80 based computer.
I don't know if it would be easy. A number of Z80 peripheral chips use the CPU's clock to determine how to respond to the CPU. So an accelerator would have to detect I/O (and possibly memory) references and slow the CPU for those.
