HTML in really good links to resources:) Did you look at the link yet?

Seriously, I asked myself the same question about a year ago when I was 
gathering-up the Z80 and CP/M 86 Aztec C Compilers and looking at the CP/M 
emulators and getting involved with comp.os.cpm, gathering resources, 
emulators, etc.

Then I did a bunch of CP/M programming for my Aztec C examples and got 
really caught-up in it. I remembered my DR CBASIC compiler and the old Tiger 
II Plus clone with the z80 card and the memories started coming back with 
all the warm fuzzy old feelings...

Rephrase your comment:

"Seriously, CP/M is fun to play with and learn about and that holds the 
interest." Your rose coloured glasses may need cleaning Sean. Or put mine 
on:)

I admit that I too was disappointed back then for similar reasons to you, 
but for me and some others now this is fascinating and perhaps that's just 
old age setting-in...

>Time to get one of my cards out of mothballs and try it out again... and 
>see if I feel the love.

There that's the spirit:)
