/* Compatibility */
[[CP/M]] required an 8080 or Z80 CPU and between 1976 and about 1983, microcomputers with a Z80 that ran CP/M were the norm before the market shifted to MS-DOS.
==Evolution==
Zilog produced the Z80, a more feature-rich and backward-compatible evolution of the 8080.
Meanwhile Intel produced the 8085, an improved, backward-compatible version of the 8080, with refinements to power consumption and integration.
