This card will enable the user to run one of the largest library of software,
although no 'current' computer system is based on this operating system, most can
run this via some type of card or emulator. The most common reason someone
would need to have a CP/M card in their Apple II would be if they needed to run
WordStar for some reason, this was a popular option in the early days of the Apple
II. Some people also use the CP/M card to run Turbo Pascal for the Apple II, which
was only available in CP/M format.
The most common card of this type is the Microsoft SoftCard. Most other cards are
clones of this card.
Additional Note: Apple CP/M Version 2.5 or greater is required to use CP/M with
any 3.5" drive device. Only certain hard disks can be used with CP/M on the Apple II
