The original versions of Janus/Ada were for CP/M on 8080/Z80 machines.
Certainly, in 1986 you could have purchased Janus/Ada from us. And we
had several competitors on that platform.

It would be relatively easy to create a cross-compiler to the Z80; we
still have the majority of the source for it. Of course, it would be a
significant job to bring it up to the current state of our compiler --
it's been more than 15 years since any development took place on that
compiler. But we haven't had a customer who was interested enough to
partially fund it.
