didn't the bubble memory boards allow for contiguous memory? i recall reading
that you could write and run a program beyond 32k using their booster pak like
device.

I was just watching a review video of the old Apple IIGS, where he
talked about getting a processor accelerator. I Remember the
accelerators for the Amiga, even one for the C64.
I wish there were a "turbo" board one could drop in on an M100,
replacing the 80c85 with an 8088 (or low-power equiv
Wow, wiki page last updated 2010, so this project has been around a while?
Never knew it existed, thanks for sharing! My *80 assembly skills are pretty
novice (I've been spoiled by the 6809), but I'm studying OS design and this
might make a fun project to dabble with.

Personally I find the Model 100 fast enough for even fast typing. The CP/M
machine was very slow. I wonder if the problem was CP/M.

The CP/M machine that I used as an RPFT was 8085 based.
I have seen more versions for the 8085 than for the 8080.

Too slow for Wordstar cp/m? Back in the day, I used an Epson PX-8 with dual

A cousin of these devices, the NEC PC-8500 is a pseudo-CP/M computer. It
has WordStar-To-Go built-in and it can be made into a full-fledged CP/M
computer by adding the 32KB memory expansion cartridge and the floppy disk
drive/drive interface.
Just an FYI.

He's basically built an emulator/VM that runs in OS-9. There was a lengthy
discussion about the finer details on the CoCo list, but here is one of his
videos demonstrating it running WordStar (wow flashback!):

Are you sure it's not CPM for the TRS-80 model 1? I had a copy of that but it
required a switch on the model 1 that swapped out the ROM with a block of
memory by fiddling with the address lines. This gave CPM the contiguous block
of RAM starting at address that it needed to run. I had th
What is challenging for the M100 is the dependence on disk, and the
requirement that it act like a standard FDC. TPDD1 can do this, but not
TPDD2. M100 on it's own would struggle also because it has only 32kB of
RAM. The lower 32kB would be unusable, save for some routines.

If it doesn't, we need a clever developer who is very intimate with the Model
100/200 architecture and the 8085 to port it :) Someone in the Color Computer
community ported CP/M to run under OS-9 on the 6809. If that can be done, it
seems that getting it to run on an 8085 would be plausible.
Ah, CP/M !
It's something like the Loch Ness Monster of the Model T-community.
A lot of people believe it exists,
Few have ever seen it,
But until the scientists of Jurassic Park come along
It continues to elude us.

I don't no, but is very interesting.
