Does anyone have a copy of the Tim Patterson

article series from Byte? I belive that it talked

I don't know. Tim Shoppa mentioned the article series last week, and
since I'm on a DOS 1.1 reverse engineering kick lately, I thought that the
article would be appropriate.
I would guess if Tim Patterson is talking about the predecessor of DOS,
it would be in the late-79 to mid-80 range (hedging by bets a little). I
guess that it could be as late as mid-1981 (based on the introduction of the
5150).

I have an 8" SCP 86 DOS Version 1.0 disk that bears Copyright dates of
1980 & 1981 as well as an 8" MS-DOS Version 2.0 disk that bears Copyright
dates of 1979 - 1983 by Seattle Computer Products, Inc. Does that help
target the dates?
