Cromemco DOS or CDOS (an abbreviation for Cromemco Disk Operating System) is a CP/M-like [1] operating system by Cromemco [3] designed to allow users of Cromemco microcomputer systems to create and manipulate disk files using symbolic names. [4]
CDOS was written in Zilog Z80 machine code. Due to the number of available programs available to run under Digital Research CP/M at that time, CDOS was designed to be upwards CP/M-compatible. Many programs written for CP/M versions up to and including version 1.33 run without modification under CDOS. However, programs written for CDOS generally do not run under CP/M. [5]
The Cromemco Z-2 had the ability to run Cromemco DOS. [1] [6] Besides CP/M 2.2 and Cromix, the Cromemco System One can also run Cromemco DOS. [7] The Cromemco C-10 personal computer, introduced in 1982, also ran CDOS. [8]
An emulator for a Cromemco CDOS system exists. [9]
The following list of commands are supported by Cromemco DOS. [4]
Later versions also support the
ATTR
command.
[10]
[11]
Later versions also support the MEMTEST
command.
