CP/M-compatible Z80 OSs?
ZCN on the Amstrad NC100 portable. Notable because the NC100 used the Z80
NMI, which you can't normally use on a CP/M system what with it being in
the middle of the default File Control Block at 5Ch. So ZCN has to go
through some elaborate gymnastics involving saving that byte of the FCB and
sticking a RST instruction there instead.
I did not know that! I even have one of those, purchased a year or so
back as part of the research for this article:

If only it took CF or SD cards & I could get stuff on and off it
without fiddling about, I'd use the thing. Ditto my Z88.
