< Ok time to show my ignorance again. I just brought home a logic analyze
<that has a built in computer that's running M/PM II Ver 2.1. I know M/PM

Thats MP/M.

<is a multi-tasking version of CPM but that's about all. Can someone tell m
<more about it or point me toward a good FAQ? What kind of processor do
<this usually run on? I have no one idea what's inside this box. One of

8080, z80, z180, 8085. It's cpm with multitasking addins basically.
When it was ported to 80x86 it became CCPM.

<the notes that I got with this stuff hints that it will run "regular" CPM
<programs. What do you know about that?

It does IF the programs don't run around the BDOS, the MPM bios is often
banked and direct bios calls tend to muck up.
