While I like the Kaypros, I prefer my TRS-80
Model 4 as a CP/M system.
Back in the day, I ran Montezuma Micro CP/M 2.2 on this system and with its
second bank of 64KB available as a RAMdisk, it was quite snappy. MM also
had the capability of defining virtual drives as other CP/M formats, so you
could have, for example, a D: drive set up as a Kaypro or Osborne format.
The only issue I have with the Model 4 (I've got one as well) is the lack of
{ and } keys. Makes it damn difficult to write C code. :) (but that just
makes Turbo Pascal 3 even more attractive!)
Not a problem - CTRL-< and CTRL-> give you the curly braces.
