[net.micro] CP/M on the M68000

cwc (07/12/82)

I may agree 100% that CP/M on an M68000 is not the way to go
(I'm not sure I do, but that's not the point), however, my
objection was to the narrow argument that it is NOT because
of the preponderance of assembler language software.  There
may be 1000 good reasons not to implement a new flavor CP/M
on the M68000, but that's not one of them.

The only reason to port CP/M would be for the large software base which one
could draw on. The 68000 is not 8080 compatible. I'm sure that you could write
a program to convert 8080 code to the 68000, but I wonder if people will really
want to do that.
