A cool thing is my C128 also runs CP/M, so I can run the same program on my 128 as I do on my Kaypro and my Televideo :-D
Don't you mean 'I can read the same disks on my 128 as I do on my Kaypro and my Televideo'? Or do these machines all use the same CPU? Isn't the 128 a 6502 (variant), meaning it won't run Z80 binaries?
I remember people touting one of the pluses of MS-DOS was that you could read the same disk on whatever computer was running it, as opposed to CP/M which was meant to be the case, but just wasn't because everyone had their own implementation of CP/M. Microsoft just standardised one variant from the bunch.

There were many many many CP/M variants back in the day.(CP/M 2.0, CP/M +, MP/M, oh man..) Isn't the version of CP/M that the 128 uses 3.0?? However Kaypro and the C-128 are very similar and we known to be quite compatable. I messed around with CP/M due to owning a 128 myself - and collected quite a few machines like the Superbrain, Kaypro II, Osborne Executive, and an Epson PX-8 laptop...they were a lot of fun.
Good for you Red! Enjoy it!
