12Did cp/m computers generally come with BASIC in ROM? I do not think so...Radovan Garabík– Radovan Garabík2020-08-23 18:22:08 +00:00Commented Aug 23, 2020 at 18:22

1Indeed, yet I don't know if they can be categorized as home computers - at least the type of computers you're referring. Not like Amstrad CPC6128 or Commodore 128 for example which were home computers, starting in BASIC, but could load CP/M afterwards.Krackout– Krackout2020-08-23 18:26:45 +00:00Commented Aug 23, 2020 at 18:26

3How do you define a "home computer", beyond "targeted at and priced for the home market" as suggested by @TonyM? I can think of lots of hobby computers without BASIC, but I assume they don't count (they can probably be considered "exercisers" more than "home computers").tobiasvl– tobiasvl2020-08-23 19:03:16 +00:00Commented Aug 23, 2020 at 19:03

2@TonyM All CPC models with integrated disk drive had CP/M shipped with CP/M.Raffzahn– Raffzahn2020-08-23 21:37:29 +00:00Commented Aug 23, 2020 at 21:37

4The Amstrad PCW series were definitely home computers, and they came with CP/M Plus on disk, as well as Locomotive Basic.Michael Harvey– Michael Harvey2020-08-24 10:40:59 +00:00Commented Aug 24, 2020 at 10:40

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. ms-dos), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
