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

The language incorporated ideas from PL/I, ALGOL and XPL, and had an integrated Macro processor. PL/M was the original implementation language for the CP/M operating system. There were PL/M compilers made for the following processors/controllers: Intel 4004, 8008, 8080, 8051, 8086, 286The Intel 80286 is an x86-family 16-bit microprocessor that was introduced by Intel on February 1, 1982. Initially released in 6 and 8 MHz editions, it subsequently scaled up to 20 MHz, and was widely used in IBM PC compatible computers during the mid 198, and 386The Intel 80386 is a microprocessor which was used as the central processing unit (CPU) of many personal computers from 1986 until 1994 and later. During its design phase the processor was code-named simply P3 the third-generation processor in the x86 lin.
