The Commodore 64 _could_ run CP/M programs...provided one had the
optional Z80 cartridge...though I never tried myself. :-) The 128 was the
first Commodore machine to actually boot CP/M disks with a 1571 drive, if I
remember correctly.
Well so _could_ the PDP-8 if someone built the necessary hardware or wrote
a simulator for it :)
