General Information
The RCA MicroDisk Development System MS2000 is a microprocessor computer system designed to facilitate the development of hardware and software for applications based on the RCA 1800 series of CMOS microprocessors. It utilises 3.5 inch, high-density microfloppy disk drives. The disks provide 315 kilobytes of on-line mass memory storage each.
The memory includes 62 kilobytes of RAM, 2 kilobytes of ROM. Software includes an augmented resident monitor program UT71 and the MicroDOS operating system. MicroDOS includes an Editor and a MacroAssembler ASM8 that operates with all the RCA CMOS Microprocessors CDPI802A, CDPI805AC, CDPI806C, and CDPI806AC.
Conversion programs are included that provide transportability of source code from all other RCA Development Systems to the MS2000.
