List of computers running CP/M
Many microcomputer makes and models could run some version or derivation of the CP/M disk operating system . Eight-bit computers running CP/M 80 were built around an Intel 8080 /8085 , Zilog Z80 , or compatible CPU . CP/M 86 ran on the Intel 8086 and 8088 . Some computers were suitable for CP/M as delivered. Others needed hardware modifications such as a memory expansion or modification, new boot ROMs , or the addition of a floppy disk drive. A few very popular home computers using processors not supported by CP/M had plug-in Z80 or compatible processors, allowing them to use CP/M and retaining the base machine's keyboard, peripherals, and sometimes video display and memory.
The following is an alphabetical list of some computers running CP/M.
