Wrote thousands and thousands of lines of code on CP/M, back in the day - not on an Amstrad CPC back then, rather some other strange machine - but it opened the door for a lot of great work in the decades that followed.
In my retro collection I currently have a CPC6128 that boots CP/M and for which I have Turbo C and Turbo Pascal installed.
I prefer to run SymbianOS on it though - it has multitasking, a network stack and a working GUI. ;)

- boffinAudio 4y agoThanks, thats correct - I was thinking of SymbOS. :) Its a mistake I make almost every single time I refer to the Amstrad CPC6128 version of it. See also: ContikiOS (for 8-bit machines) .. pretty amazing!
