What sort of hardware does CP/M-68K expect? Is it like CP/M-80 where
you need, essentially, a mass storage device, and a terminal device,
and the BIOS handles low-level stuff, or had Digital Research turned a
page by the time CP/M-68K came out, and it was more oriented towards
assuming you had a text or graphic framebuffer, not a serial terminal?
I guess in other words, if you had a 68000 processor with some
attached RAM and a random UART (6551 or Z8530 or 8250/16450/16550),
what else might you need to bring up CP/M-68K?
