   I never had anything that used CPM, I just remember CPM was a Common   
   Language that worked on many early computer boxes IIRC.   
      
   I only read about those days in Popular Electronics and   
   Radio-Electronics magazines.   
      
   The S-100 Bus I think was a common feature listed in the various   
   advertisements I saw back then.
