How many flavas of CP/M-86 was there? Assuredly there
was one for the IBM PC.
It might help to determine what platforms the 68k
versions ran on. I'm pretty sure the Dimension 68000
had it (in fact I *may* have it). Don't have a
Dimension yet though...
There were *project* 68k boxes the plans for which
appeared in Radio Electronics (another was mentioned,
was supposedly popular in Europe - anyone have any
info?). IIRC CP/M 68k was the only thing that ran on
it. This thing was mentioned on here some time ago.
Not sure if I have all the issues (wherever they are),
but I'm interested in building one. It would be kinda
nice if *we* could locate someone that has it (beside
the original designer - I think that's who's trying to
sell it or boards or whatever for the most ungodly
prices). Hey I did actually make contact with someone
who built the RE Robot (80186 based). It would be nice
to figure out a way to *make contact* with peeps who
aren't necessarily inclined to collect or collaborate
in this fashion, but just have one of the blooming
things in their closet still. oi

Naturally, but I don't think anyone has yet come up
with a pointer to
said hardware emulator.
While I have run AmigaDOS and Minix on the Amiga,
and one can run *BSD
and AMIX (SysV) on it, I am unaware of CP/M-68K for
it. If I am
wrong, please tell me since I am most familiar with
this platform and
would easily be able to get up to speed on it.
One could port it, naturally (since at the very
least, every Amiga has
a floppy drive and a serial port), but I don't think
this is an
out-of-the-box solution.
