- The developer originally planned to create a Motorola 68000 emulator with MMU for 68010 support but shifted focus to pure 68000 to run CP/M-68K due to better software support.
- A custom CP/M BIOS integrates with the emulator for console and RAM disk access, placing TPA at 0x400 and system/BIOS at 0xFF0000 for compatibility with most programs.
- The emulator's console uses stdin/stdout instead of curses, converting LF to CR and DEL to BS for improved compatibility, while terminal control codes pass through.
- cpmtools is recommended for managing RAM disk images, along with custom CP/M commands for file transfer between CP/M and the host system.
- Screenshots show successful compilation of a CBASIC 'Hello World' and FORTRAN 77 'Heron' program, with a video demonstrating additional programs.
