I think it never caught on as they were expensive machines and then then you had the IBM PC show up and obliterate the CP/M market.

It’s cool to be able to run the 68k CP/M for sure but yeah, lack of apps that aren’t 8080 translates or straight emulation.

Replying three years later… I never came back to this page. In any case, all I’ve really done with the cpm68k environment is compile some toy C programs and just doodle around with it. It has microEmacs, so I can edit text files. I don’t remember there ever being much in the way of cp/m-68k software. Seems like it might have been used to control some machine tools or something.

If I wanted to do this again today, I’d just use the Linux Subsystem on Windows, and use that.

Oh wow the emulator drifted from then I’d used a vintage version… Good catch though!!!

Now that you have it running, what can you do with it?

Kind thanks to you and to David Schultz,

try running “uname -a” without quotes.

Anyways I suspect you are on x86_64 based machine, and further I suspect it’s 32bit only.. Try adding the flag -m32 .. You’ll probably have to run something like :

“sudo apt-get install g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386”

to pull in 32bit development, and support…

Linux – ubuntu 14.04. Compiler is gcc. Flags are “-g -Iobj -I.” Those are “eye” characters.

I added a call to m68k_init() just before m68k_pulse_reset() in main, and that has gotten me from all zeros in the array to an “illegal opcode” that causes the emulator to complain about an illegal instruction and then throw a SIGSEGV.

What is your host platform? what compiler? what flags?

At first I suspected it was some kind of binary/text mode thing, although it looks like you are on a *NIX?
