[net.micro] Have seen CP/M under UNIX

johnm@dartvax.UUCP (11/14/83)

I have seen CP/M running under UNIX.  It was actually running under XENIX
on an Altos 5-86.  It was called The Bridge and allowed anyone with an
IBM standard eight inch disk drive to load cp/m programs into a
unix environment.  Once loaded, they could be run under The Bridge and
files transferred between UNIX and the CP/M file area.  The one dis-
advantage was that one has to set aside a file that pretends to be a
CP/M diskette and that space is used if it contains CP/M files OR it is
empty.  This program was included with the XENIX systems developement 
system by ALTOS.
