a bit of trivia I found interesting

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

There were versions of CP/M for a number of early processors,
including the Intel 8080, the Zilog Z80, and the Motorola 68000,
plus probably some others. Each of those processors also
supported other operating systems as well, though none of them
was a popular as CP/M, which stood for "Control Program for
Microprocessors."
