If 8" floppy drives scare you, it's very easy to set these up with
5.25" HD or 3.5" HD drives.
And C compilers and 68K assemblers are available for these systems.
It's actually pretty cool--you boot CP/M 2.2 on it just as you would
a model II and then switch over to CP/M 68K if you desire.
Xenix is also available for these boxes, but a hard disk is pretty
much mandatory for that.
