Bill, Al,
Yes, because I can! [Linked Image] The last time I used a CP/M system must have been around 1987, so I thought it would be fun to "play around" with one of these old systems again. For simple accounts, word-processing and so on, these old systems are still very capable.

Trumpy,
Is your system the Osborne 1 ?

The Osborne portable systems were Z80-based running CP/M as well, so they're not limited to just the BASIC language. There is a huge range of old CP/M software available on the internet now for free.

The very small screen is, on my opinion, the biggest problem with the Osborne series. The Heath H89 et al had a decent size screen.
