Yes. CP/M I think really needs some kind of random-access storage. I
guess the Epson PX8 etc ran CP/M and had (micro)cassette storage but
it was a bit of kludge. So I was only considering the Amstrads with
disk drives.

There were also some pretty high-spec British microcomputers, but they
tended to flop owing to the price. Things like the HH Tiger (did it
ever go into production? Prototypes certainly exist).
True!
Yes, a friend has (or had) one. He amassed a huge collection, then
sold the lot and bought a Tesla. :-)
Assuming a 'Tesla' is an electric car, I'd rather be in the reverse
position (selling said car and being able to buy some interesting old
computers...)]
Which were
those? I thought all the Amstrad disk-based CPCs and PCWs
could run CP/M
When you say "disk-based" you are excluding the GSX console and the
cassette-based ones, right?
The machine I referred to was the PcW 16:
