CP/M-386 Brings CP/M to 32-Bit Protected Mode

CP/M-386 – CP/M for 386 protected mode, derived from CP/M‑68K

CP/M-386 is an early-stage operating system that ports CP/M to the 386's 32-bit protected mode, with full Ring-3 TPA support. It boots from floppy or GRUB, supports VGA text and serial consoles, and is highly source-compatible with CP/M-68K and CP/M 2.2. The project is in very early development, lacking drivers for storage and networking, but includes a suite of utilities and can be tested under QEMU.

CP/M-386 is currently in the very early development stages.
