Note that when Digital Research puts CP/M on the 68000, that WON'T mean that you can use "all that old, crufty available 8-bit software". All you'll get is an old crufty single-user monitor which runs on a sleek new 16-bit machine. Most of the application software will have to be rewritten. Remember that porting CP/M to the 68000 isn't exactly like porting UNIX to the 68000, because most, if not all user software is written in 8080 or Z80 assembly language. And, you can't run that on a 68000.
