Eric,

You could probably email the owner of the bondwell on the link you posted and ask if he could make you a copy of the CPM OS on a 5 1/2 diskette. It may boot an early version of IBM or Microsoft DOS since Z80 and 8080 are inthe same family of CPU chips. IBM was going to use CPM as their OS for the first IBM PC but the owner didn't show up for the scheduled meeting. So IBM decided to use DOS from Microsoft instead. IBM did use CPM on their POS cash registers until they brought out OS2 ver. 1.
