Note
Release: Concurrent CP/M-86 was released in the early 1980s, building on the CP/M-86 operating system which was itself a version of CP/M for the Intel 8086/8088 processors.
Features: It allowed multiple programs to run simultaneously, which was a significant advancement over the single-tasking nature of the original CP/M. This was achieved through a time-sharing system that allocated CPU time to different tasks.
Compatibility: The system was compatible with CP/M-86 applications, making it easier for users to transition to the new operating system without losing access to their existing software.
