PL/M

The PL/M programming language (an acronym of Programming Language for Microcomputers ) is a medium-level programming language developed by MAA (later Digital Research) in 1972 on behalf of Intel for its list of Intel microprocessors. PL/M is no longer supported by Intel, but aftermarket tools like PL/M-to-C programming language translators exist.

The language incorporated ideas from .

During the late 1970 s and 1980 s, Intel produced a series of computer workstations called Isis (computer), designed for use in developing firmware for systems using the Intel microprocessors. A variety of emulation solutions and supporting hardware were available from Intel as well as from third parties. These emulators usually consisted of specialized hardware that was connected between the workstation and the target hardware s CPU socket. The programmer could then take control of the target system to a very fine level to inspect and modify virtually every aspect of the microprocessors operation.
