	QDOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a result, IBM turned to Microsoft, since Microsoft was a CP/M subcontractor, sold a plug-in Z80 board that made the Apple II capable of running CP/M and, having ported their BASIC to SCP's bare 8086 hardware already had experience with writing OS-level code for this processor and in general.
		Notably, for QDOS Paterson preferred to clone BASIC's FAT filesystem rather than the original CP/M filesystem, which he perceived as inferior.
		In May 1981, Microsoft hired Tim Paterson to port QDOS to the IBM-PC, which used the slower and less expensive Intel 8088 processor and had its own specific galaxy of peripherals around.

		Tim Paterson has been called "The Father of DOS" because he wrote the software program that would become the ubiquitous OS (operating system) that ran on the majority of computers in the 1980s.
		Today Paterson considers the moniker a little heavy and prefers to call himself simply the original author, insisting that even "inventor" is too creative a word for what he did.
		The company turned around and hired Paterson to work on its computers, and that's where he was when Microsoft found him when it needed a 16-bit OS in a hurry.

		Tim, who has a PhD in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, is the author of numerous commercial, shareware, and public-domain programs for graphics and serial communication.
		Dobb's Journal, Tim Paterson presented the article "Circles and the Digital Differential Analyzer." While Paterson's algorithm does not accumulate error, his explanation involves a method for solving the differential equation dy/dx=-x/y which does accumulate error.
		In a subsequent letter to the editor ("Letters," DDJ, July 1991), V. Venkataraman pointed out that Paterson's algorithm plots points on or just within the ideal circle, and suggests the desirability of a method that plots the points closest to the circle, even if they are outside it.
