Running CP/M on the C128

We had a pretty active CP&#x2F;M community in the 80&#x27;s when the C128 was released. Most of the time I spent in CP&#x2F;M mode was either running Turbo Pascal or MEX ( the Modem EXecutive ... a telecommunications program. ) We had some CP&#x2F;M bulletin board systems in the area with downloadable software and source code. This was where I first used archivers such as Gary Novosielski&#x27;s LU &#x2F; Library Utilty ... which was kind of like tar. It stored archives in files ending in the extension &quot;.LBR&quot;. Versions of ARC were also used at the time. There were stand-alone versions of LZW and Huffman compressors ( Crunch and Squeeze, respectively ) which were often used in conjunction with LU in the same manner that gzip is often used with tar archives.<p>The posted article mentions how slow C128 CP&#x2F;M when compared to comparable machines, but I really didn&#x27;t notice. It ran quickly enough for my needs.

<i>&quot;I had a brief encounter with CP&#x2F;M when I was 14 or 15 years old; I can’t remember exactly. At the time, I was in high school in Aveiro, and the local computer shop, which I visited daily on my way to the train station, just to stare at the window, the same way a pilgrim would visit and contemplate at a shrine, had two beautiful machines on display: the brand-new Amiga 1000 and a C128D.&quot;</i><p>This hit me with so much nostalgia. Different parts of the world - same experience.

I had a C128 as a kid, but I almost exclusively booted into C64 mode to play games. I <i>did</i> have a CP&#x2F;M floppy, but I only booted it once or twice, had no clue what to do with it, and forgot about it quickly.

I had a card to run CP&#x2F;M on my Franklin (apple ][+ clone] it was to use WordStar I never used it. A computer store clerk in December 1982 basically said, &quot;you should wait for the C64&quot;, but we just plowed ahead and got the Apple clone. It was easier in college as I could write my paper, take my 5.25 over to the big 24-7 study room at Rutgers, called the roost and they had a small computer print lab. I got a 3.5 disc and could use an Apple 11c the had with both disk types to move the doc over. Then I&#x27;d take my 3.5 disk over to a Mac and typeset my paper. For 86-89 that really felt modern. I just used AppleWrite or whatever knockoff name Franklin called it, and a couple of times when I had a longish paper I just spit it into two docs, I think the limit was under 15 pages. I wish I had gotten info on how to get going with CP&#x2F;M there as I&#x27;ve heard Dos and Windows are based on it.

While I had a friend who had a 128, we never thought to boot up that CP&#x2F;M disk on his shelf. I had a Apple ][+ with a Z80 daughter card, and a Pascal compiler... so I would have been interested if I had only known (I was 12 and not reading the right computer magazines). Years later I have tried all of this through Commodore emulation. It was fun for a bit and definitely felt nostalgic.

In my teens I actually ran CP&#x2F;M on my C128 which could also be a C64(this mostly for games)

TBH Commodore made a mistake cancelling the C900 and releasing the C128, IMO.

CP&#x2F;M was the first serious OS I used. By serious I mean one with the full set of office tools (Supercalc, WordStar, dBase) and languages like BCPL, Pascal, C (BDS). I think this had a significant effect on my views on what can be achieved in a small system with scarce resources.

Looking for exactly the same for the MSX!<p>- Any pointers?<p>PS: Great post, by the way - I was also a “kid pilgrim” to the computer store. ;)

CP&#x2F;M was also available for the Amstrad CPC machines too. I still have my disks somewhere.

I think I&#x27;ve read somewhere you could use the 6502 from the Z80 side, it would be interesting to run 6502 code while in Z80 CPM.

CP&#x2F;M on floppy came with my C128.
