Thus - this could be wrong. SCP made at least six models of computer
the first being Z80 machines which ran CP/M, the next few being 8086
based which ran CPM-86 or SCP-DOS (which I'm pretty sure is MS-DOS
1.0 or the immediate prdecessor purchased by MS). The last were 8088
I never knew they called it SCP-DOS. All I ever heard it called was
"QDOS" -- Quick & Dirty Operating System, basically a crude CP/M clone.
