Origins of MS-DOS
Look here to find the true record of how DOS got started on its way to
becoming, for a considerable period of time, the most widely used computer
program in the world. We know the facts, because our founder, Tim Paterson,
wrote the first versions -- up through MS-DOS 1.25 (completed March, 1982).
We are now expanding this site beyond articles and excerpts. We are adding
documention of the first DOS machines, made by Seattle Computer Products. Use
the links at left to see what we have so far.
Stay tuned and be patient while we grow this historical collection. The
process is time-consuming as the original manuals are scanned, recognized, and
converted to PDF while retaining the original look as precisely as possible.
