You type Print "hello"
and "hello" appears on the printer
or put in the line numbers and make it a proper Basic program.

There is a special CP/M module you can get which has a Z80 and runs CP/M from the FDD. But that spoils the sheer simplicity of it!

The processor is HP proprietary. It runs everything I need for controlling equipment just fine.
