To use CP/M 2.2 on a Model III, you'll need a "Holmes Vid-80" board or its 
equivalent. "Holmes" has been out of business for a number of years, but 
someone may be willing to sell you the necessary hardware. If I remember 
correctly, "Holmes" also sold a version of CP/M 2.2 that worked with its 
hardware...  :)  Good Luck!
