[edit]

The CPU in the Executive was the Zilog Z80B running at 6MHz not the Z80A in the description.

The only operating system supported by Osborne was CP/M Plus (3.0). It was never supported by CP/M (2.2).

The description states that sales were 10,000+. It actually sold 16,000+ in the first 3 months following introduction and many more following that.

Hi,
Thanks for adding some input and for the work you did back in the day on this amazing machine.
The Osborne Executive Reference Guide lists it as Z80A at 4.0 MHz. Were there some other versions running z80B and 6 MHz? If you can provide any further information, that would be great to hear about it -
