Uh, why?
And what would stop you from taking the CP/M BIOS and turning it into a
standalone application that passes its system calls to Mac OS, and using
files as disk images?
You might have some fun with supervisor instructions, but you can trap
and emulate, it might just work.
You wouldn't be running it natively, but that doesn't have to be a
requirement.
I meant it's not well-suited for a native installation.
But a standalone-app would be the way go on the Mac. There's a
standalone 8080/CPM2.2 emulator for Mac, but no CPM68k one... slightly
ironic, since the CPM68k you would think would be easier.

Has
anybody installed it on a Mac?
Fred, from what I understand, long ago, attempts were made but
ditched. It's been discussed in the comp.os.cpm group.
The Mac's hardware isn't particularly well-suited for CPM.
