Advent of Computing: Episode 36 - The Rise of CP/M
The IBM PC and MS-DOS, the iconic duo of the early 80s. The two are so interconnected that it's hard to mention one without the other. But in 1980 DOS wasn't IBM's first choice for their soon-to-be flagship hardware. IBM had wanted to license Gary Kildall's CP/M, but in a strange series of events the deal fell through. Legend states that Kildall lost the contract b was too busy flying his private plane to talk business with IBM, but is that true? Today we look at the development of CP/M, why it was a big deal, and why the PC ultimately shipped with Microsoft software. Like the show? Then why not head over and support me on Patreon. Perks include early access to future episodes, and stickers:
@[email protected] Hey I started to give that a listen and decided to import that podcast.
I'm interested in seeing how importing it goes, but didn't see any license info at the site so I'll contact the producer later about permissions, but figure it should be alright because you can freely download it.
Thanks for mentioning that. One of my first PCs was a Northstar Horizon (Where NorthTech actually got it's name from originally), an S-100 bus based system with a wooden case, so These early OSes are close to my heart, since I started my computing career back in high school in 77 and love collecting some of these old landmark systems and their respective software.

@tallship I discovered the podcast last year and found it looks well documented and presented, I'm not listening to every episode only the ones that interest me and the CP/M Gary Kildall one was of them. I used CP/M for a small time many moons ago and don't even remember it. Glad you like it.
