]What exactly is MP/M?  I've heard of MP/M for my Apple II, but that was a 
]CP/M clone, and I seriously doubt that it's what you're all talking 
]about.  Or is it?

If your Apple II ran CP/M, then the MP/M for your Apple is probably our
Multi-Program/Monitor (I think that's what the first "M" stands for (any
others remember?  Kral, DaveA?  My history here goes back, but not *that*
far;-))

It was our first multi-tasking OS (came out just after CP/M 2.2(?)).
