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. Chip

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.
