Back in the day when I worked on a lot of this stuff,
I saw a fair number of
both CP/M boxes and c= stuff, and one time did actually take a few minutes
and boot CP/M on a 128/1571 combo. It ran, and I was able to take some of
the software that I was used to running on other platforms and run it there,
but I was not all that impressed with the way it ran-- it was slow.
Part of that was the software implementation, however. A number of people have
rewritten portions of the BIOS/BDOS and made some decent speed gains.
Mind you, I think I've used my 128 in its CP/M capacity exactly twice.
