LDOS (which later became LSDOS, and then licensed as TRSDOS for

Worse -- CP/M on a Zentec! CP/M required RAM at low addresses
(was, as I recall, how it got back to the command prompt after a program
exited). Zentec's had ROM down there, so the entire CP/M kernal had to
be customized. I think the copy of Magic Wand was also customized --
they had "Lockheed Missles and Space" <G>.
