CP/M is a prompt one - doing something like DIR in CP/M is just like doing DIR in something in a directory listing in any other 8-bit platform.

- jhbadger 2y agoThat isn't how 8-bit computers (other than CP/M and MSX) generally worked -- instead they dropped you into a BASIC interpreter rather than a command-line shell. Some interpreters did let you list files and so on, but there wasn't a complete shell. What was of course very similar to the CP/M experience was MS-DOS (which was modeled after CP/M) and MSX (which was was modeled after MS-DOS itself)
