Description

Note from the donor: "Personal CP/M User's Guide, version 1.1, dated 1984. Personal CP/M was designed in response to MSX. It is a Z-80 ROM-based version of CP/M 2.2, with a BDOS Version Number of 2.8, so is limited to 8MB. It is, by far, the most esoteric version of CP/M: many people told me that it never existed! In Europe, only one micro ran under Personal CP/M: the Sharp MZ-2500. It is also the only version of CP/M issued with a "Visual CCP"... So, the less that can be said is that this is a rarity."

The file was originally posted on the Information Technology Corporate Histories website as a .htm file by Emmanuel Roche on May 5, 2009, and reposted as a .pdf file by Luanne Johnson on February 8, 2012. Donated by Emmanuel Roche. 40 scanned pages.
