Whatcha got? I've still got some CP/M machines here too.

Z-100. Dual processor (8085 and 8088), S100 bus, 640x512 color graphics.


The interesting bit is that CP/M itself runs on the 8088, while the
application runs on the 8085, and there's some hardware for doing
system calls between the two.  That gives pretty much all of the 64k
address space to the application.

Sweet machine. I've got a Kaypro II and an Imsai 8080 here, along with a couple of TRS-80s. The latter are not, of course, native CP/M machines, but they'll run it if properly coaxed with the right boot disk. :) I'm still very partial to CP/M.
