CP/M-386: CP/M for 386 protected mode, derived from CP/M-68K

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

CP/M-386 is an early-stage open-source port of the classic CP/M operating system to 386 protected mode, introducing a 32-bit architecture and protected mode features. The project emphasizes cross-platform build and testing on Linux/BSD with QEMU, and documents BDOS compatibility and future hardware support. This makes it a useful case study in OS porting, emulation, and retro computing for developers and SMB IT professionals exploring historical architectures.
