Summary
| Description |
English: In 1977 Kerr & Reynolds developed a pharmacy computer system based on the Cromemco Z-2 computer. It was the first microcomputer-based pharmacy management system, and had a throughput of 600 prescriptions per day. Kerr & Reynolds, based in Sherman Oaks, California, wrote the pharmacy management program in Z-80 assembly code. Pictured is the Cromemco Z-2 computer with a Soroc terminal running the Kerr & Reynold "Microscript" software. |

Note about the photo
Kerr & Reynolds developed this pharmacy system on a Cromemco Z-2 computer using a Zilog Z80 microprocessor, 48KB of RAM memory, external 8-inch floppy disk drives, and a Soroc terminal. The system maintained records for patient's prescriptions. The system automatically printed labels for patients' prescriptions and completed Medical reimbursement forms.[1] The system allowed over 15,000 prescriptions to be stored on dual floppy disks and had a throughput of over 600 prescriptions per day. The software required over 10,000 programming hours, and is entirely written in Z80 assembly language to improve response time.[2]
