#3We also have a new CP/M-86 emulator at https://github.com/johnsonjh/emu2-cpm86

#4Take a look here for some other tools:
https://github.com/skx/cpm-dist
I found the compiler collection here useful too:

Though I guess some of these things won't run under the linked emulator, because they use SUBMIT and require more than a single-executable to be run.
(That's the reason why my own emulator used the CCP/"shell" rather than just limiting itself to running FOO.COM)

#5I wonder if anyone used CP/M-86 back in the day? I used CP/M 2.2 and 3.x on Z80 pretty extensively. But on 8088/8086 it was MS-DOS everywhere. Were there niche CP/M-86 apps or use cases?

#6V20 is an interesting CPU. A 8086 compatible with support for some instructions of 80186 and 80286, some custom instructions, an 8080 emulation mode… The datasheet describes the instructions using a non-Intel notation that looks very unusual.

They used it at my high school in Denmark. It was easy to share hard disks across many machines and the ability to multitask was also very nice. The office people could switch between word processing and calendar software easily, for example.

DR-DOS was CP/M-86

Was it branded CP/M or MP/M?
