I found a scrapped box today  at work :

2 8" floppydrives , RS232 and  printer  interfaces. Internally an F8 
chipset ( F3850 / F3852 / F3854) with a WD1771 fdc.
Strangely enough a set of floppies lay on top, labeled Cp/M, Basic CP/m 
Pascal etc.

Was there ever a CP/M version for the F8 ??

No.  The F8 at best was a microcontroller.  If anything the unit was a smart
floppy controller for a CP/M system.
