JamesD Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 This has been around for a while but since it was mentioned on the podcast I thought I'd share it here.There is a CP/M (Z80) emulator for OS-9 running on the CoCo 3. Here are a couple videos demonstrating it.From 2013 (8080 only?) From 2015 with optimizations and Z80 support An 8Mhz 6809 could run it pretty decently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) For comparison, here is a Kaypro running Wordstar.You can skip ahead 50 seconds to get to the Wordstar startup Edited May 30, 2015 by JamesD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) The NitrOS-9 version on the 6309 is faster but he's running two copies of the emulator already when he launches it at 3:20 so you probably can't see it full speed. He launches The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy at the 6:00 mark. Then he switches between emulations of that, Turbo Pascal and Wordstar.

JamesD Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 You can find the emulator disk on the Color Computer Archive. I haven't tried it yet, some setup may be required.http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
