I have a question on that. Would CP/Mish be able to easily deal with arbitrary RAM location?

There's a really cool device called a Cidco Mailstation that has a Z80, but it maps a ROM to the first 16k of memory. So you can't easily run CP/M because it expects RAM there.

Would be a nice CP/Mish platform with its 128Kb RAM, loads of flash memory, 320x128 lcd, fairly simple bootstrap process, runs on 3 AAA batteries, etc.

Yes but no; yes in that you _can_ do that, no in that all available software has been built to assume that the base of memory at 0x0000. It can be done but there's probably not much point. Which is a shame as it's a really nice-looking machine...

Ah, well. Maybe I'll have a look at Fuzix. The Mailstations are cool, and cheap too.

Sadly they're only available in the US, and it would triple the cost to get one sent to me in Switzerland! Fuzix would suffer from the same address space problem, however, but as there's no existing software for it it's less of an issue...
