TheZ80 Operating System with Relocatable Modules and I/O Management(Z80-RIO) is a general-purposeoperating systemdeveloped byZilogin the late 1970s for various computer systems including theZ80 Micro Computer System(MCZ-1) series[1]and theZ80 Development System(ZDS).[2]The MCZ systems were primarily used for software development and automation solutions.[3]RIO was designed to facilitate the development and integration of user's programs into a production environment.[4]
Features
[edit]The system provides amodest environmentwith a minimum of system support and anenhanced environment.
Themodest environmentprovides a programdebuggerwith file manipulation capability, afloppy diskdriver (supporting up to eight disk drives), and a basic console driver with provision forpaper tapeoperation.
Theenhanced environmentprovides access to theRIO Executiveand to system support utilities such as theZilog Floppy Disk File System(ZDOS), and theZilog Hard Disk File System(DFS). It also provides access to a number of disk-resident software such atext editor,[5]macro assembler,andlinker.

Clones
[edit]UDOS,a Z80-RIO compatible clone byVEB Robotron,was available for a number of computers by the same company, such as theA 5120or thePC 1715,which were based on theU880processor (the latter being a clone of Zilog's Z80).[7]UDOS was also one of the operating systems available for theP8000,a microcomputer system developed in 1987 by theVEB Elektro-Apparate-Werke Berlin-Treptow „Friedrich Ebert “(EAW) in the German Democratic Republic (DDR,East Germany).[8]
