Hello everyone,

Other than the pearl delivered to us by Mr. Searle, what other CP/M implementations in FPGA are out there?
I have found a few vintage computer and Z80 implementations, but nothing else running CP/M so nicely.

Suggestions anyone?

Cheers,
Marcelo.

The Microbee that runs CP/M 2.2 & 3 has been implemented on FGPA.

Thanks for the info! I've been wanting a Microbee. Now time to see if I have the pieces and parts to build this.

Max Scane and James Moxham have taken Grant's design and ported it to a cyclone IV board http://www.smarthome.jigsy.com/fpga
Enough room for four uarts and has a little ESP8266 module for talking wifi. Today I got BDS C talking to Google. Max has CP/M 3 working and very close with MP/M.
Cheers, James Moxham

There is MiST too https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki , not a dedicated CP/M core there -its very possible anyway- there is an MSX core so a lot of CP/M binaries run nicely there.
