Amstrad DDI-1 User Manual
Two operating systems are supplied:
AMSDOS is an extension of the cassette filing system in CPC464 BASIC, and allows
access to the BASIC interpreter.
CP/M 2.2 is the standard 'random access' Z80 disc operating system for over 5000
commercial programs - ranging from business and accounts software to second
languages and scientific and engineering analysis. Thanks to the thoughtful
implementation of CP/M on the CPC464, CP/M files may be freely mixed on the disc
with AMSDOS files, which are automatically labelled with the appropriate filetype.
Digital Research's famous Dr LOGO has emerged as the most universal educational
and teaching medium - combining the unique user-friendliness of 'turtle graphics' with
sophisticated processing power. Dr LOGO is acclaimed as the most comprehensive
implementation of LOGO available and is supplied free as part of your Amstrad DDI-1
package.
