I purchased Turbo Pascal 3 for Amstrad CPC 6128 with my pocket money back in 1989(?). That was 1000 FF back then (~275€ today) so quite a big sum for a teenager. My dad took pity on me and funded 50% of it. Best investment ever!
Learning Pascal after Locomotive Basic was night and day. And the speeeeeed! I could finally compute 320x200 Mandelbrot set renderings in reasonable amounts of time (few minutes IIRC).
I still have the disk & manual somewhere, as well as a couple related books. And for whatever reason Ctrl-K Ctrl-W still haunts my mind.
It's really mind boggling that the entire thing (CP/M + IDE + compiler + libraries) fit on one side of a 3" floppy disk (<180 kB).
I first encountered Pascal (probably Turbo Pascal) on our Amstrad CPC 464, which being bought as used item came with lots of software floppies including some CPM stuff. Lacking a manual I never really used it though. I do remember it had a really barebones textmode-only editor. :)
Yes, for me a few year's later I did the same with a high density floppy (1.44 MB), holding MS-DOS 3.3, TP, and a few utils.
The TP versions started with 3.0, up to 6.0, naturally later versions had to be customised to fit into the floppy.
I used to carry it around for the school computers.
However that is another level given CPC limitations.
I just looked up the price for Acornsoft ISO Pascal in 1989 and found a listing with 69 pounds, which would be 188 2026 pounds or 220 euros. It consists of 2 16KB ROMs (and a floppy version).
