CP/M mode
CP/M mode refers to a compatibility feature in some computer systems that allows them to run software designed for the CP/M operating system. CP/M, which stands for Control Program for Microcomputers, was widely used in the late 1970s and early 1980s for personal computers. This mode enables users to access legacy applications that were originally developed for CP/M, ensuring that older software can still be utilized on modern hardware.
In CP/M mode, the system mimics the environment of the original CP/M operating system, providing the necessary commands and file structures. This compatibility is particularly useful for businesses or individuals who rely on specific legacy applications for tasks such as data management or programming. By supporting CP/M mode, modern systems help preserve the functionality of historical software.
