CP/M, [3] originally standing for Control Program/Monitor [4] and later Control Program for Microcomputers, [5] [6] [7] is a mass-market operating system created in 1974 for Intel 8080/85-based microcomputers by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc. CP/M is a disk operating system [8] and its purpose is to organize files on a magnetic storage medium, and to load and run programs stored on a disk.
Typically when first starting MBASIC there would be less than 32 kB memory available for programs and data, even on a machine equipped with a full 64 kilobytes of RAM. Comment lines, prefixed with the REM keyword or an apostrophe, could be placed in the program text but took up valuable memory space, which discouraged BASIC users from fully ...
CP/M-86 was one of three operating systems available from IBM, with PC DOS and UCSD p-System. [5] Digital Research's adaptation of CP/M-86 for the IBM PC was released six months after PC DOS in spring 1982, and porting applications from CP/M-80 to either operating system was about equally difficult. [6]
Originally MS-DOS was designed to be an operating system that could run on any computer with a 8086-family microprocessor.It competed with other operating systems written for such computers, such as CP/M-86 and UCSD Pascal.
The Z-80 SoftCard is a plug-in Apple II processor card developed by Microsoft to turn the computer into a CP/M system based upon the Zilog Z80 central processing unit (CPU). ). Becoming the most popular CP/M platform and Microsoft's top revenue source for 1980, it was eventually renamed the Microsoft SoftCard, and was succeeded by Microsoft's Premium Softcard IIe for the Apple
Gary Arlen Kildall (/ ˈ k ɪ l d ˌ ɔː l /; May 19, 1942 – July 11, 1994) was an American computer scientist and microcomputer entrepreneur. During the 1970s, Kildall created the CP/M operating system among other operating systems and programming tools, [5] and subsequently founded Digital Research, Inc. to market and sell his software products.
Motorola 68302 Integrated Multiprotocol Processor featured a RISC processor [1] controlled either by a microcode in ROM or by downloadable firmware. Various forms of microcode were shipped for different applications, for example to support Signaling System 7 communications or Centronics parallel interface.
