CP/M resources

z80 logo CP/M and other ancient operating system have a small, but loyal, following, and it seems to be increasing. I've decided to group all the CP/M stuff on my site, to make it easier to navigate. I have various new utilities for CP/M, and a bunch of technical articles.

Original CP/M utilities

There are all new utilities, written and maintained by me, and tested on real Z80-based CP/M machines. All are released under GPL licence terms, with full source code.

CP/M emulator for Pi Pico

I've written a self-contained CP/M emulator for the Raspberry Pi Pico, with emulated hard disks in the Pico's flash memory. It's ready to be connected to a terminal emulator using a USB cable. Purely by coincidence, it runs CP/M programs under emulation at roughly the same speed as a real CP/M machine. Full details here.
