QDOS

Summary

• QDOS, the "Quick and Dirty Operating System," (not to be confused with Sinclair's QDOS for the Sinclair QL computer, which shared the same name) was a simple 16-bit operating system originally written in just four months by Tim Paterson in 1980 for an Intel 8086-based computer kit sold by Seattle Computer Products (SCP), which became famous as a part of one of the greatest legends in computer folklore.
