I still regularly use CP/M through my PCPI Applicard on my Apple //e. I played through Rogue on it recently. I also have a Kaypro 4, but the
floppy drives need alignment. I love jumping into Z80Pack and launching
NZCom for some quick Z80 programming.

Take some heart. I know a young person in his late 20s who loves
vintage audio and computing. He has a Kaypro 2 and recently acquired a
TRS-80 Model 4 with CP/M which he loves!

Ah yes Rogue!
I wish Adventure/Zork had at least minimal visuals like Rogue.

I still have CP/M on...Osborne 01, Osborne Executive, Kaypro 2x, Kaypro
10, Northstar Horizon, IMSAI 8080 (ZCPR3), Altair 8800b (Burcom 2.2)

For most 6800/8080/Z80 programming, I use cross assemblers running on
DosBox under Linux. I then troubleshoot/debug under simh before sending
the finished code to the target. Saves wear and tear on the old
machines, and makes dev work much faster!

Nah, like the little girl said, the pictures are much better on the radio.
A proper adventurer needs to draw their own map

As I'm using DOSBOX for MS-DOS anyway I run MYZ80 from there. The setup
is plenty fast to run development tools natively. If there's a problem
it's estimating how slowly my target code would run on a real Z80 - not
to mention floppies. OTOH modern Z80 hardware is probably using flash.

Well, there is Beyond Zork...
