Yep. Same system calls and everything. You were supposed to be able to 
re-assemble your assembly code for CP/M and have it Just Work on the 
IBM-PC.  It really wasn't *just* the Microsoft deal that made it work.

Dunno. Something inside one of the machines touched something it 
shouldn't. It probably started with the Apple, which got opened up more 
than the other machines.
