Tom,

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.
