I'm slowly losing my sight, but I want to be able to continue to program and use my vintage computers.
CP/M on the Atari could be an option since it's basically text based. Any other ideas?
I'm not blind yet, so now's the time to build any special equipment. Throw all your ideas in.
 
Which ATARI? There are the 400/800/XL/XE machines with a MOS 6502 processor which is not capable to run CP/M as it is made for the Zilig Z80 processor. And there is the ST/STE/TT/Falcon series which has Motoroloa 680x0 processors which in theory could run CP/M 68K but which is not available at all. You won't serriously use the Z80 CP/M emulation on a such advanced system with GUI etc. as the ST-series where you can have all kinds of programming languages like Basic, Pascal, C, Modula, Forth and so on natively?
