For the Apple ][, the "SoftCard" even was a product from Micro-Soft :)
But there also were others who created Z80 cards for the Apple ][.

I don't remember any "CP/M" or Z80 cards for the IBM PC, do you know  
any?

MS-DOS 1 was created so that it was easy to port software from CP/M to  
DOS, so maybe that wasn't a big thing...?
