I was looking through a book I had picked up a year or
so ago called
"The Elementary Commodore 64". Towards the front amongst the
description of various types of peripherals available for the C64 under
the title "Other Gadgets" was this:
Z-80 CP/M -- This cartridge goes right into the cartridge slot to turn
your machine into a Z-80 base computer enabling you to access the vast
array of CP/M software. With over 2000 CP/M software programs
available, there is little you will not be able to access.
You can find one for sale from time to time on the usenet. What I am
looking for is an expansion box called the Spartan which enable the C64
to run Apple ][ software. It was an emulator, basically.
On another note, has anyone ever seen (or have) a Basis-xxx? I know it
has a number in the name, but I can't remember it. It was an Apple ][
clone that also ran CP/M I believe? Something like that. I'm sure
someone knows about it. I only knew one guy who ever had one, but I never
saw it. It was a friend in high school back in 1989.
