    I don't know much about CP/M except that it was pretty closely tied to the Z80 family of processors. How liberal a translation is this to 6502? Does it try to replicate all the Z80 registers in the 6502 zero page, or is it a much higher-level recreation that just implements APIs with the same names and signatures?

      I believe it's higher level. Note that there's precedent: CP/M-86, a port to the Intel 8086, existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M-86

        Also there was a port to the Motorola 68000, CP/M-68K.

    Anyone know what TPA stands for. I want to be believe it’s the amount of memory consumed by the system but I’ve never seen it expressed that way.

      It's the reverse. TPA = Transient Program Area, which is how much memory you have available for running a desired program.
