Certainly even the earliest of CP/M releases offered
more
than the North Star DOS that would've shipped with thier disk
systems? This system included DOS ver. 2 and BASIC ver. 6, Release 3
and is also copyright 1977.
Actually no. NSdos was a simpler file system but actually robust and
very fast. It lacked editor/assember/debugger but did have a good set of
diags for ram, monitor and NS* BASIC. Which for it's time was pretty
good. Also it could boot in as little as 4k of ram and run basic in 24k.
