CP/M, aww yisss!!

I am thinking of getting a modern-day MITS Altair 8800 clone and booting CP/M so that I could log in over the serial terminal.

Has anyone in the thread tried this out? From the YT vids, it looks pretty cool.

just use emulator

>just use emulator
In that case, I'll just find a host online and run it virtually in a web browser.

CP/M was the original microcomputer OS. You could get it running on pretty much any 8-bit machine from the late 1970s onward.

Go CP/M! GO!

Ok, I found one.
Let's see if it works on macOS Whatever This Year Is Called.

Roasties have a lot to answer for,

The story that I heard was that Gary was out when IBM came to call, so they chose Bill Gates and Microsoft because he and it were eager to please.

Or do you believe the story where IBM handed over a bog-standard NDA and Gary freaked completely out of his mind?

Never trust "official" story, Gary was tricked by Bill Gates and robbed by IBM.

>Gary was tricked by Bill Gates
Didn't he take Microsoft to court over MS-DOS?
He should have, if he didn't.

By the time the court took his case there were other clones. Meanwhile, the company behind Lotus kept the "patent" of freaking spreadsheets. You can smell corrupt judges from miles away.

Well, whatever happened, just imagine the CPU-independent world that we would be living in now. CP/M could be compiled for practically anything. Maybe the Intel part of the WinTel monopoly would have died in the 80s.

I'm thinking of running a Commodore 128 emulator so that I can get CP/M.
Is this madness or the right approach?
That way, you get the OS running on appropriate (virtual) hardware from the same age.
