86-DOS (English Wikipedia)

Seattle Computer Products (August 1980). "86-DOS - 8086 OPERATING SYSTEM - $95". Byte (Advertisement). Vol. 5, no. 8. BYTE Publications Inc. p. 173. ISSN 0360-5280. CODEN BYTEDJ. Retrieved 2013-08-18. (NB. The SCP advertisement already calls the product 86-DOS, but does not mention a specific version number. Version 0.3 is known to be called 86-DOS already, so the name change must have taken place either for version 0.2 or immediately afterwards in August 1980.)

Somewhat ironically in the context of Jerry Pournelle's claim that Gary Kildall demonstrated to him a way to display Kildall's name in DOS, Tim Paterson claims to have hidden an easter egg, displaying his own name, in the FAT code of MSX-DOS 1, when he developed this Z80-based CP/M clone resembling 86-DOS/MS-DOS 1.25 in 1983: Paterson, Tim (2014-02-17).
