And amazing how misconceptions about the myth mill just keep rolling
along. As I recall (I was working for SofTech Microsystems - UCSD
P-System OS for the early PC/LSI/other) Gary had been flying. The
real bottom line, though, is that "MSDOS" was _bought_ from Seattle
Computer Co, and was based on CP/M, not CP/M 86; that wasn't working
at the time. The reason that the guys at SCC came up with their OS
was because of the eternal delays in the appearance of CP/M 86.
