In the same way that an MS-DOS port could have (but didn't
AFAIK) exist: i.e. technically possible, commercially a waste of
time.

Me neither. DEC couldn't have done it and neither IBM nor
MS would have had any reason to do so.

Surely that label could have been eyeballed by now :-)

Commercially? Surely the uVAX 2000 wasn't out until after CP/M had
had its heyay? If it is non-commercial, I'd be willing to see if my
uV2K still works just to try it :-)
