> For those interested in details the cpm code is less than 8KB, leaving 56KB for the application. The memory used is the level2 "flat
> mode", making a direct map to z-80 memory addresses. The variables  (DP and U register) are moved to the top of the memory
> leaving the z-80 addresses intact.
> Support routines and minimal CP/M routines are provided through a software trap mechanism: memory $ffff. This tells when exiting
> emulated environment to os-9 real calls.
> 
> There are several LUT's, each instruction is fetched and executed. All z-80 registers are memory positions. LUTs are used to flag
> conversion and parity calculations.
> 
> You can use 3 terminals: native os-9( you need to reconfigure the cp/m software to use os-9 escape codes) or Dec vt-52 (-v option) or
> kaypro ii (-k option). Most of the cp/m available software are for the two.
