As far as i know, it�s name was DOS86 as a implementation of CP/M for
8086.

And it took incredible 3 month to change the OS to support the hardware.
An former MS-programmer said that it only took 1 month to make a working
product. But then came meta-programmer bill and reprogrammed all parts.
the result was DOS 1.0. ;-)

btw the first useable version (i say) was 3.2
