I used to develop apps in dBase II on CP/M back in the early to mid 80's. We used to have these lovely NEC computers (PC 8800 and APC) with dual 8" and 5.25" drives running CP/M. Later the boss bought me a Torch Z80 [0] co-processor, which ran a clone of CP/M called CPN, for my BBC Micro so I could fiddle about and work from home. We used to use WordStar as our code editor and would patch its printer drivers by hand to get them working with certain NEC and Juki printers. Then once day we bought an early PC clone (a Ferranti box) and things moved on. Amazingly some semblance of Torch is still around [1] [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torch_Computers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torch_Computers [1]: http://www.torchcomputers.co.uk/ http://www.torchcomputers.co.uk/
