BASIC INFORMATION
MS-DOS was originally called 86-DOS. It was written by Tim Patterson (considered the
father of DOS) and owned by Seattle Computer Products. Microsoft bought 86-DOS for
$75,000, licensed the software and released it with an IBM PC as MS-DOS 1.0 in 1982.
MS-DOS was originally designed to run on any computer with an Intel 8086 processor,
but the various hardware versions on these computers made compatibility difficult.
As a result, Microsoft provided hardware equipment manufacturers with a development
kit that could be used to tune the MS-DOS operating system for the computer's specific
hardware.
There were many versions of MS-DOS. There were also compatibility issues with MS-
DOS and IBM where some machines were compatible with MS-DOS but not IBM. These
computers could only run programs that were written for MS-DOS and did not depend on any of
IBM's peripheral architecture.
