UCSD P-system?
Now theres a name I haven't seen in a while.... 10 or so years ago I
worked for a company in Bristol (UK) who supposedly had the rights to
the P-System.
non-exclusive - Regents of University of California (San Diego)
up by a TV manufacturer. Anyway, the story goes that
the P-System was
considered by IBM along with CP/M for the PC. Don't know how much thuth
there was to that but even in my time we had several customers still
running P-System natively on a variety of hardware - AppleII, a
contemporary mini (can't remember which) at Norwich Union and some 68K
based (Stride?) systems.
I guess that you could say that there was some thuth to the story.
IBM, for the 5150, sold PC-DOS (MS-DOS), CP/M-86, and UCSD P System.
Crunch!
