I knew Marc from the System/23 Datamaster project (which I also worked on). I was still
working
on some aspects of System/23 when the PC was born. Dr. David Bradley (who wrote the
original
BIOS) worked in the office across the hall from mine. I knew that the PC project was
going on
but didn't know all of the players at the very start so I can't recall where Marc
fit in relation to
Lew. However, Lew was a manger and Marc was an engineer, so I don't see the
statements
as being incompatible.
BTW, Marc was the last person I worked for at IBM before I left. At that point he was an
IBM VP
and an IBM Fellow.

Ok.. So Engadget wrote this article claiming Dr. Mark Dean was chief engineer of the
12-person team that designed the original IBM PC in the early '80s

I had always thought it was Lewis Eggebrecht.
I know there were three teams and one of them won and it was Eggebrecht's team.
Did Dr. Marc Dean work on Eggebrecht's team or did he run one of the other ones?
