Subject: Re: Did Dr. Marc Dean Design the IBM PC or was it Lewis Eggebrecht
From: Guy Sotomayor <ggs at shiresoft.com>> I
think you're mixing Lew with Don Estridge. Don's team (of which Lew and Marc were
part) were the "winning" team. The other teams were *not* in Boca as I recall.
From PC News:

"Lew Eggebrecht was the Chief Architect for the IBM PC. He picked all the parts and
put them together"
From The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/08/12/ibm_pc_30_anniversary/
"A 12-strong team was assembled under Don Estridge, the Development Director of the
project, codenamed 'Chess'. Lewis Eggebrecht was brought on board as Chief
Designer."

"Lewis Eggebrecht was a principal in the systems engineering design"
So. I mean. I believe you, just a lot of people point to him
