A 5120
The A 5120 was an office computer produced by VEB Robotron in Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz), East Germany starting in 1982.
Assembly language
In computer programming, assembly language (alternatively assembler language or symbolic machine code), often referred to simply as assembly and commonly abbreviated as ASM or asm, is any low-level programming language with a very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the architecture's machine code instructions.
See Z80-RIO and Assembly language
Command (computing)
In computing, a command is a directive to a computer program to perform a specific task.
See Z80-RIO and Command (computing)
Command-line interface
A command-line interface (CLI) is a means of interacting with a computer program by inputting lines of text called command-lines.
See Z80-RIO and Command-line interface
Copy (command)
In computing, copy is a command in various operating systems. Z80-RIO and copy (command) are microcomputer software.
See Z80-RIO and Copy (command)
Debug (command)
The line-oriented debugger DEBUG.EXE is an external command in operating systems such as DOS, OS/2 and Windows (only in 16-bit/32-bit versions).
See Z80-RIO and Debug (command)
Debugger
A debugger or debugging tool is a computer program used to test and debug other programs (the "target" program).
East Germany
East Germany (Ostdeutschland), officially known as the German Democratic Republic (GDR; Deutsche Demokratische Republik,, DDR), was a country in Central Europe from its formation on 7 October 1949 until its reunification with West Germany on 3 October 1990.
Echo (command)
In computing, echo is a command that outputs the strings that are passed to it as arguments.
See Z80-RIO and Echo (command)
Elektro-Apparate-Werke
The Elektro-Apparate-Werke (EAW) was a state-owned industrial operation of the German Democratic Republic (DDR, East Germany).
See Z80-RIO and Elektro-Apparate-Werke
Environment variable
An environment variable is a user-definable value that can affect the way running processes will behave on a computer.
See Z80-RIO and Environment variable
Federico Faggin
Federico Faggin (born 1 December 1941) is an Italian-American physicist, engineer, inventor and entrepreneur.
See Z80-RIO and Federico Faggin
Floppy disk
A floppy disk or floppy diskette (casually referred to as a floppy, a diskette, or a disk) is a type of disk storage composed of a thin and flexible disk of a magnetic storage medium in a square or nearly square plastic enclosure lined with a fabric that removes dust particles from the spinning disk.
Format (command)
In computing, format is a command-line utility that carries out disk formatting.
See Z80-RIO and Format (command)
Help (command)
In computing, help is a command in various command line shells such as COMMAND.COM, cmd.exe, Bash, qshell, 4DOS/4NT, Windows PowerShell, Singularity shell, Python, MATLAB and GNU Octave. Z80-RIO and help (command) are microcomputer software.
See Z80-RIO and Help (command)
Linker (computing)
In computing, a linker or link editor is a computer system program that takes one or more object files (generated by a compiler or an assembler) and combines them into a single executable file, library file, or another "object" file.
See Z80-RIO and Linker (computing)
Move (command)
In computing, move is a command in various command-line interpreters (shells) such as COMMAND.COM, cmd.exe, 4DOS/4NT, and PowerShell. Z80-RIO and move (command) are microcomputer software.
See Z80-RIO and Move (command)
Operating system
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.
See Z80-RIO and Operating system
P8000
The P8000 is a microcomputer system developed in 1987 by the VEB Elektro-Apparate-Werke Berlin-Treptow „Friedrich Ebert“ (EAW) in the German Democratic Republic (DDR, East Germany).
PC 1715
The PC 1715 was an office computer produced by VEB Robotron in East Germany starting in 1985.
Proprietary software
Proprietary software is software that grants its creator, publisher, or other rightsholder or rightsholder partner a legal monopoly by modern copyright and intellectual property law to exclude the recipient from freely sharing the software or modifying it, and—in some cases, as is the case with some patent-encumbered and EULA-bound software—from making use of the software on their own, thereby restricting their freedoms.
See Z80-RIO and Proprietary software
Punched tape
Five- and eight-hole wide punched paper tape Paper tape reader on the Harwell computer with a small piece of five-hole tape connected in a circle – creating a physical program loop Punched tape or perforated paper tape is a form of data storage device that consists of a long strip of paper through which small holes are punched.
Ren (command)
In computing, ren (or rename) is a command in various command-line interpreters (shells) such as COMMAND.COM, cmd.exe, 4DOS, 4NT and Windows PowerShell. Z80-RIO and ren (command) are microcomputer software.
System time
In computer science and computer programming, system time represents a computer system's notion of the passage of time.
Text editor
A text editor is a type of computer program that edits plain text.
U880
The U880 is an 8-bit microprocessor that was manufactured by VEB Mikroelektronik "Karl Marx" Erfurt (abbreviated as MME; part of Kombinat Mikroelektronik Erfurt) in the German Democratic Republic.
See Z80-RIO and U880
VEB Robotron
VEB Kombinat Robotron (or simply Robotron) was the largest East German electronics manufacturer.
Zilog
Zilog, Inc. is an American manufacturer of microprocessors, microcontrollers, and application-specific embedded system-on-chip (SoC) products. Founded in 1974 by Federico Faggin and Ralph Ungermann, who were soon joined by Masatoshi Shima, who had all left Intel after working the 4004 and 8080 microprocessors.
Zilog Z80
The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed by Zilog that played an important role in the evolution of early computing. Z80-RIO and Zilog Z80 are Z80.
