Yes, 1985 was really too late for CP/M. Even Kaypro (the last surviving major CP/M machine vendor) had seen the writing on the wall and began to sell MS-DOS machines by then. Still, I was still using CP/M occasionally on my Apple II clone with a Z80 card, mostly for running early versions of Turbo Pascal (which was released for CP/M but never the Apple II natively).
