What sort of stuff would you put into the category of "CP/M work alikes"?
NOvados, DOS+, ZRdos, Zsdos and ZCPR addons to CP/M. They all could run
CP/M programs but added things missing from basic V2.2. The gotacha was
they required z80 as they were stuffing all that into the same space
required by V2.2.
Not much of a gotcha, I don't think I'll be doing much with the 8080 these
days anyhow, and pretty much every single one of the CP/M boxes I have on
hand here are all equipped with a Z80.
ZCPR I've run across, those others are not familiar to me. Are they out
there and available? Might be worth a look at them if so.
