A Danish built computer running Concurrent CP/M on an Intel 80186 processor, here i give you a quick introduction to this fantastic machine.

The Piccoline computer is an Intel 80186 bassed computer with two floppy drives, and a monocrome moninor. I could be extended with local network, color monitor and up to 1 Mega byte of memory.

You could also share the floppy drive or printers with up to four different computers, it had a high resolution display and was capable of relativley impressive graphics - ofcourse thats asuming comparison with other computer of the time.

The machine ran Concurrent CP/M, one of the major quirks with CP/M is the fact that it does not have directories, which means that all the files will just reside in the root "directory" or whatever media you feed it with.

That is acceptable when you have 160 or even less kilobyte, but a 1MB floppy or at 10MB harddrive full og files quickly become cluttered and hard to use.
