The Acorn machines in 1985 actually did run CP/M business software if you added a Z80 or 68000 second procoessor. The CP/M variant was called CPN but it supported a compatible set of commands and system calls. It was the machine I grew up with, and I ran dBase II and Wordstar on it among other things - "real" business software.
Wordstar was good for editing BBC BASIC code, with its inline Z80 assembler... which could communicate with the other BBC BASIC code with its inline 6502 assembler on the same machine. Multiple cores in 1985 :)
