       I fully realize that not many more than zero people are interested in horrid old 8-bit operating systems, but MP/M II for the 8080 (!) is pretty badass.1981!http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/digitalResearch/mpm_II/MPM_II_Programmers_Guide_Aug82.pdf

       @tomjennings TurboDOS was head and shoulders even above that in 1983. It did multitasking *and* network shared disk storage, on completely normal Z-80 hardware! And with customizable choice of modules. If you don't use floppies, just omit the floppy module, and your program area can be a little bigger. It's a crime that TurboDOS does not hold private place in most tellings of the CP/M ecosystem.

       @milena_zen I barely remember the name. I'll have to go look it up. [...]Ahh... fo rme personally, but 82 or so I was involved professionally in x86 stuff, my involvement with CP/M and x80 ended right after CP/M 2.2 came out, so I missed most of the CP/M follow-on stuff.TurboDOS looks fairly amazing, too bad it's timing was so late, as far as popularity goes.
