But ISIS *did* precede CP/M.
I don't think that's the case, at least in terms of when they were
written. As I understand it, Kildall tried to sell CP/M to Intel, and
Intel didn't buy it, apparently because Kildall didn't want to sell them
exclusive rights. That resulted in the creation of ISIS as an Intel
exclusive.
Possibly CP/M wasn't offered for sale to the public until after
shipments of ISIS started, but I don't really know the first ship dates
of either.
