Yes, that's right. Also ran LocoScript, a wordprocessing package.
Z80 processor and 512k of memory.

3.5")
I have a C compiler somewhere for CP/M on those disks. Got a bunch of
them at a car boot sale. The sellers thought I was nuts, selecting
all the funny-sized disks out of a mixed pile of 3" and 3.5".
and originally came with a
boot-up-into-wordprocessor disc...

It's currently in my neigbours front yard
waiting for the bin men, but
I've a mind to rescue it.
Go on, you know you want to!
