Last night after some googling I came up with a //e
emulator and a
"Pocket Atari 2600". There's also a pocket C64, including a
"commercial"
one from Commodore. There are some others, like a pocket Sinclair.
There's also a commercial Pocket PC-XT ($40), and a port of the MAME
emulator.
I would really like to find a "pocket CP/M" machine.
I purchased a package called "pocketdos" (a search should find them), which
works quite nicely ... I can run all of my DOS based emulators on it, so in
my shirt pocket I have an Altair, H8, Horizon, Vector, and a bunch of others.
It's pretty neat actually.
Note that it does NOT emulate an 80386 - just an 80186 ... so programs which
need a "dos extender" will NOT run.
It will let you define your own boot disk, so it should be possible to boot
CP/M-86 on it, although I have not looked into doing so yet.
Regards,
Dave
