Re-compiling old DOS - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

17 Jul 1998

...
      Anyway, this plus a message from one of our own,
results in an
 interesting question. How, in 1982 (or in 1980-81, when Project Acorn was in
 beta), would Microsoft have written and compiled DOS 1? 
86-DOS (the base of MS-DOS 1.0) at least was developed on
a DEC 2020 station and transfered via serial line to an
INTEL ISIS system for writing Disks, or to the SCP 8086
S100 system for runntime tests.
