Subject: CP/M emulation under Unix?

I may be dreaming, but I thought I would ask anyway...

Does a Z-80/8080 emulator exist that runs under Unix, preferably
that can boot CP/M, using files to emulate the floppies?

Failing that any cross-assemblers or compilers that will run under
Unix and generate binaries that will run under CP/M?

Reasons why you make ask?

1. to run old software, thus really eliminating the need to keep old
   equipment around.

-- OR --

2. to be able to find some use for said dust gathering old machines.


Anyone find any interesting uses for old machines (other than the
obvious planter/doorstop etc.?   (I.E. device (BSR or otherwise)
controller, serial mux, printer switch, etc?)

(I'm new to this group so forgive me if this has been asked before...)

Thanks,
--Rob
