CP/M was modeled, I believe, after DEC's RT-11 operating system. Its
driver model was very much the same. Both OS's were able to work in a
small memory footprint. Although I didn't use CP/M very much, I was
over in the mini world at that time, I remember liking it a whale of a
lot better than I did MS-DOS that Microsoft foisted off on the
unsuspecting world.

Curiously the lessons about the Osborn "luggable" computer seems to
have been mis-learned. I need to find the essays on what we really
should have learned...although "vapor-ware" is still something to be
avoided!
