CP/M-86 on a IBM PC

I picked up an IBM 5150 a while back so I went to the Unofficial CP/M Web Site and downloaded the distribution images of CP/M-86 for the PC. Then I hit my first hurtle, I had to create the disks on a 360K drive. The only ones I had were on PC's without harddisk except for my AT&T 6300, which is dead but that's another message. So I pulled the floppy drives from the AT&T and plugged them into my 486. Of course Windows 95 didn't like the program which created the disks so I had to find a DOS boot disk and but finally I was able to create the floppies. Finally I'm booting CP/M-86 on the PC and loving every bit of it. You can see the operation on the IBM PC page at my web site.
