CP/M
NB: Everything on these pages relates to CP/M 2.2 - the
version used by Memotech and the
BBC Micro.
CP/M, or Control Program for Microcomputers,
was written by
Digital Research founder
Gary Kildall and used on
a wide range of microcomputers from the late seventies onwards.
Legend has it (incorrectly) that had Gary not being out flying
his plane when IBM came to call in 1980, CP/M would have been
the operating system on the IBM PC. Instead, IBM ended up with
Bill Gates' MS-DOS and the rest is history ! You can read one
version of the story
here.
CP/M is the operating system that was used on a wide variety of
8080/Z80 computers, including the disk expansion options for the
Memotech MTX series and the Z80 Second Processor upgrade for the
Acorn/BBC Microcomputer. The hardware for the various Memotech disk
systems can be found by following the
Memotech MTX link and the BBC
Z80 Second Processor by following the
BBC Micro link.
