List of computers running CP/M

From Alfawiki

Numerous microcomputer models operated on versions or derivatives of the CP/M disk operating system. Eight-bit machines utilizing CP/M 80 were typically built around CPUs such as the Intel 8080, 8085, Zilog Z80, or similar processors. CP/M 86 was designed for the Intel 8086 and 8088 architectures. While some computers supported CP/M directly, others needed hardware enhancements like additional memory, updated boot ROM chips, or supplementary floppy disk drives. Certain well-known home computers with incompatible processors employed plug-in Z80 or equivalent CPUs to run CP/M, thereby utilizing their existing keyboards, peripherals, and occasionally video and memory components.
