Hallo Nicolas, I've some experience with a CP/M-module for the C64 and I only can acknowledge what Marko writes. If I wanted to change the memory configuration, I had to activate the 6510 again. Just FYI, I think I know the reason why the CP/M-module for the C64 became a flop. The NMI- and IRQ-line of the C64 were NOT connected with the Z80 inside the module. I wonder what kind of tricks a programmer had to use to read the keyboard, RS232 or whatever interrupt-dependent device.
