CP/M-86 screen is the PRELIMINARY RELEASE 2.2.5 for the IBM PC in 1981
Andy Johnson-Laird sitting next to his genuine IBM PC with his diskettes and the same boot-up screen.
Louis-Luc Le Guerrier, a historian of CP/M and 86-DOS, writes: Andy wrote to me last year, I sent him the photos, and he confirmed to me this is a photo of himself and he remembered when they were taken back in 1981. He told me he was in a protected room at IBM, and no one could get there. The diskette could not go out as well, since CP/M-86 was not out yet. I'm sure he was developping CP/M-86 on this exact machine in that room until v1.0 came out in Febrary 1982. He told me he used to put his sandwiches in the same locked drawer where he stored the diskettes when not in use. Andy is now in charge of a forensic science company. Thanks Louis-Luc for this and the above photographs. Have a story to tell, an artifact to share or anything else about CP/M or Digital Research? Contact us!
