Had I been aware of its NASCOM heritage at the time, I might have saved it. But... I didn't. When it was running it was never possible for me to get near it and it was so reliable it never needed any attention. I assume it must have run CP/M?

Yes, it would have been running CP/M, they did have their own operating system but I don't think that supported floppy / hard disks, so you were effectively forced to go down the CP/M route.
