Is it possible to put a z80 compatible OS on a calculator?

pcgeek

I am wondering whether I can put some vintage z80-compatible OS on a z80-based TI graphing calculator (such as the TI-84+ silver edition)? I've been thinking about this lately and would like to know whether it can be done or this was just one of my wild hypotheses/theories that I frequently make.
Thanks ahead of time,

If it has a Z80, enough memory, some kind of storage, and a sufficient display, then someone might be able to port CP/M to it if they haven't already. CP/M was made to run on almost anything with a Z-80 or Intel 8080.

Of course, it needs to support the calculator platform.

The TI calculators have a rich development scene, however. I'm sure there's a bunch of OSes available, or as SomeGuy said, a CP/M port.

This looks promising. i will discuss more when I have a ton of time.

Is there anyone here with enough wits to attempt to port CP/M to the TI84+ Silver Edition (6/15mhz dual speed z80, 2mb storege chip,128k ram chip size, 96x64 monochrome LCD)?
