Hi
 Sorry about that, this was intended for Chris only
but if there is anyone else interested in getting the
CP/M-8000 up and running, let me know. It may be easy
but one can never tell. I'm not much of a C expert.
 I wish they'd just done it in assembly. Proper
used of macros would have made the job easy enough.
My main complaint is that it requires either a
PDP-11 with their compiler or a working CP/M-8000.
Of course, that is what I'm trying to create. Writing
an assembler is relatively trivial while writing
a C compiler is a bit more. There are several M***
assemblers that one could easily adapt to the 8000
out there as well ( I do tend to write my own though ).
 The stuff from the web site looks like one may
be able to build a booting disk. I'll be working on
that, over the next few days.
