A nice twisting chain of events. Not included in the

chain are also:
- DOSPlus (Micro-System Software)
- DoubleDOS (Percom)
- MultiDOS (Cosmopolitan)
- UltraDOS (Level IV Products)
- MicroDOS (Micropolis - completely unrelated to TRS-DOS)
As long as we're including ones that were not explicitly inline in the
TRS-DOS geneology, there were also a bunch of CP/M mods:
- FMG? (relocated)
- Omicron (with 8" support)
- Parasitic Engineering (with 8" support, by Howard Fullmer (later
chief engineer at Morrow))
and model 3 CP/Ms, such as Hurricane Labs and Montezuma Micro (Ron Jones
was quite a character - remember the media flap about his having "John,
eat shit and die" written in a lot of his blank sectors?)
And then Radio Shack came out with the model 4 which could properly
support CP/M and had CP/M-Plus (aka CP/M version 4)
