Subject: Re: C64/C128 CP/M Cartridge Interest?
I'm quite sure Jim is aware of that :)
However, the C64 CP/M cart was notoriously flaky and could only run 2.2.
It
would be interesting to see if a later design could do more.

Well CP/M even on the 128 suffered from slow hardware designs. I guess if
you want to make a whole (RAM included) CP/M cart it would be better then
what is out there now. Would the cart have to be paired with a 1571 to read
other CP/M disks?
Would anyone on the list with CP/M or Z80 experience
be interested in
helping design a CP/M cart for the C64 and C128? I'd like to learn
more
about CP/M and the Z80, and I thought a revamped cartridge might be a
nice
way of learning and tying back to my CBM bias.
The C128 has CP/M capability built in (Z80A 4Mhz), there is a cart for
the
C64 as well.
