I'm pretty sure the TRS-80 Model I is incapable of running
unmodified CP/M because it has ROM in low memory that cannot be
remapped...is this correct?
Correct as standard CP/M. there was a version that allowed for that ROM.
It was not standard and dur to that and the small TPA it would not run
most appications available. If you had source you could reassemble/compile
as needed and then run it for the new 4200h start adresss (nominal is 100H).
