I don't know if CP/M was ever ported to the
6502, but even if it was,
you'd be stuck for software as it's all 8080,8085 or Z-80 based.
There certainly wasn't any "official" CP/M for the 6502. The closest
ever seen was the ADIOS operating system for the Apple
II, which was
designed to be CP/M-like. It was developed by Soft Warehouse because
they didn't consider Apple DOS to be a satisfactory operating system to
host
their muMath and muLisp products.
Hi! There is a CP/M compatible operating system for 6502. It is called
DOS/65 and was written by Rich Leary. He is also the original designer of
the S-100 6502 CPU board

DOS/65 is pretty amazing considering it is the closest thing to a CP/M port
for 6502. It runs on the S-100 6502 CPU board and also the 6x0x host
processor.
Thanks and have a nice day!
