Wow, this brings back some memories. Remember using CP/M extensively back in the 1980s especially on the Amstrad PCW. For the time it was a good OS. Might be worth taking a look at Locomotive BASIC that came with the PCW (and possibly the Spectrum +3).
MBASIC80 (or 85) - by Microsoft, is the most likely version you need, that was the most commonly distributed and used for games BITD. And, yes, between KS1 and KS2 the legal status of the CP/M distro files were clarified, which meant we got permissions to include them direct on the SD card, anyone with KS1 who upgrades to the KS2 images will also get the files - but the result is the same as if you followed MikeC's video you referenced, just a lot less manual work for the pre-setup KS2 images. -Dx
@@ZXRetroGaming no they're all for zx there's a 16kb rom that has bbc basic the spectra gives you 32kb video ram and 18kb per screen I think though I get very little technical info ulax is more colours onscreen I think vdac2 is for atm turbo 2+
