The U880 was an East German clone of the Z80.  This was also produced by Angstrem (Ангстрем) as the Т34ВМ1 in Cyrillic (T34VM1 in Latin script), which photomicrographs reveal to use the U880 die mask[http://zeptobars.ru/en/read/t34vm1-z80-angstrem-mme], and the KR1858VM1 in Cyrillic (КР1858ВМ1 in Latin script).  These differ from the Zilog Z80 in their setting of the carry flag after an OUTI operation, but are otherwise (almost?) identical.  A CMOS clone, the КР1858ВМ3, also existed.
