Really?? If you are going to use cpm, just get a z80, and save many $$$.
I have a cpm/z80 at home, and a Fortune system at work, and I love UNIX.

I've also reviewed cpm/68K and, yes it has a few features beyond cpm2.2,
but UNIX it ain't.  I've talked with Gifford and gifford people who tell
me there's little demand for the Godbout 68K with cpm board.

My opinion, worth what you paid for it, is save your money and buy some
disk drives, used if necessary.  By the way, without a hard disk, UNIX
doesn't make sense.

My Godbout-owning friends swear by them.  Rock solid, buy pricey.

Best of luck
