muMATH on the Apple II is not CP/M, nor is it DOS 3.3 or ProDOS. It uses
its own disk operating system which is a bit of a pain if one wanted to
extract files from the system disks. However, the disks are still
16-sector and can be made into images for emulators or backed up easily.

This was done so that the system would run on an Apple II+. DOS 3.3
used too much memory so something simpler had to be found and it predates
ProDOS. I still find it amazing that muSIMP could run at all on such a
small system.

Was muSIMP ever ported to anything "larger"?
