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]

Overview

[edit]
Cromemco Z-2 CPU unit and terminal

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]

Commands

[edit]

The following list of commands are supported by Cromemco DOS.[4]

Intrinsic commands

[edit]

Later versions also support the ATTR command.[10][11]

Extrinsic command programs

[edit]
  • @ (Batch)
  • DUMP
  • EDIT
  • INIT (Initialize)
  • STAT (Disk Status)
  • WRTSYS (Write System)
  • XFER (Transfer)

Later versions also support the MEMTEST command.[10][12]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
