   imho my first real computer was a z80 comet running autocad    
      
   huge ram as astonning 64K, later Bill sav a commodore 128d with   
   reu1750 512k ram expander, where he says 640k is enough to   
   anyone, at time where floppy disks to commodore 128d was just   
   340k, and could read msdos floppy formated disks with a cpm    
   wedge that allowed to issue a pip m:=a:*.*   
      
   yes i still have that computer   
      
   commodore 128d have hardware mmu, so it could indeed be expanded   
   to 1024k ram, fully supported in cpm mode, dont know if the basic   
   rom without virus can handle that, i just blame commodore did   
   not pay for opensouurce of that virus   
      
   on facebook, oh its #meta now btw, there is simple many examples   
   on z80 mbc, even m68k mbc, all running cpm :)   
      
      
    Regards Benny
