I picked up an IBM 5150 a while back so I went to the
Unofficial CP/M Web Site and downloaded the distribution images of
CP/M-86 for the PC. Then I hit my first hurtle, I had to create the
disks on a 360K drive. The only ones I had were on PC's without
harddisk except for my AT&T 6300, which is dead but that's another
message. So I pulled the floppy drives from the AT&T and plugged
them into my 486. Of course Windows 95 didn't like the program which
created the disks so I had to find a DOS boot disk and but finally I
was able to create the floppies. Finally I'm booting CP/M-86 on the
PC and loving every bit of it. You can see the operation on the IBM
PC page at my web site. Another old machine lives!
