Credit for Tim Paterson's 86-DOS[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#9)

I'm glad that Seattle Computer got a mention. As we get further away from the time they were suckered in to selling 86-DOS for $25,000 (because they didn't know IBM was involved), their position in the history of the PC keeps getting lost. But credit should really go to Tim Paterson, as perfectly described at Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86-DOS>. He took the good of CP/M and skipped the bad by some excellent programming.
