We are running a siemens plc system that uses CPM. The Siemens programer
went bust a few years back and we had got a 286 with 1Fdd and 1 Hdd and
loaded CPM o/s on this. Years ago (decades) used CPM on my first PCjr so
remembered a bit of that which came in handy. Thing is still used for
plant programming.
Tell me exactly what you are looking for and may be I can get you a
copy.

I do not have details on hand but this 286PC is connected to the PLC
through a serial cable to do program loading.
