好心人翻译一下哦!
Known variously as Seattle Computer 86-DOS, IBM Personal Computer DOS (PC-DOS) , Zenith Z-DOS, and MS-DOS - 86-DOS was developed by Seattle Computer Products for its 8086-based computer system. The MS-DOS history is intertwined with the general development of software for 8086-based computers.
In May 1979, Seattle Computer made the first prototype of its 8086 microprocessor card for the S-100 bus. There were brief discussions with Digital Research about using one of Seattle Computer's prototypes to aid in developing CP/M-86, which was to be ready "soon." Although Seattle Computer was considering using CP/M-86 when it became available (expected no later than the end of 1979), there were only two working prototypes of the 8086 processor card, and it was felt that both were needed in house. Therefore, there wasn't one free for Digital Research.
Microsoft had already started a strong 8086 software-development program. The firm was ready to try the 8086 version of Stand-Alone Disk BASIC, which is a version of its BASIC interpreter with a built-in operating system. During the last two weeks of May 1979, this BASIC was made completely functional using the hardware that Seattle Computer provided for Microsoft. Seattle Computer Products displayed the complete package (8086 running disk BASIC) in New York the first week of June at the 1979 National Computer Conference. (This was the first-ever public display of an 8086 BASIC and of an 8086 processor card for the S-100 bus.)
Seattle Computer shipped its first 8086 cards in November 1979, with Stand-Alone Disk BASIC based on Digital Researches CP/M as the only software to run on it. The months rolled by, and CP/M-86 was nowhere in sight. Finally, in April 1980, Seattle decided to create its own DOS. This decision resulted just as much from concern about CP/M's shortcomings as from the urgent need for a general-purpose operating system. As to was QDOS a new operating system or a adaptation of CP/M is hard to say, It is more certain to say that CP/M 86 had a lot more in common with QDOS than CP/M had. To what level of cooperation there was between Digital Research and Seattle Computer or if the code was copied will never be resolved.
The first versions of the operating system, called QDOS 0.10, were shipped in August 1980. QDOS stood for Quick and Dirty Operating System because it was thrown together in such a hurry (two man-months), but it worked surprisingly well. It had all the basic utilities for assembly-language development except an editor. One week later, Seattle Computer had created an operating system with an editor, an absurdity known as EDLIN (editor of lines). A primitive line-oriented system, it was supposed to last less than six months. (Unfortunately, it has lasted much longer than that as part MS-DOS.)
In the last few days of 1980, a new version of the DOS was released, now known as 86-DOS 0.3. Seattle Computer passed this new version on to Microsoft, which had bought non-exclusive rights to market 86-DOS and had one customer for it at the time. Also about this time, Digital Research released the first copies of CP/M-86. In April 1981, Seattle Computer Products released 86-DOS 1.00, which was very similar to the versions of MS-DOS that are widely distributed today.
In July 1981, Microsoft bought all rights to the DOS from Seattle Computer, and the name MS-DOS was adopted. Shortly afterward, IBM announced the Personal Computer (PC), using as its operating system what was essentially Seattle Computer's 86-DOS 1.14. Microsoft has been continuously improving the DOS, providing version 1.24 to IBM (as IBM's PC-DOS 1.1) with MS-DOS 1.25 as the first general release to all MS-DOS customers in March 1982.
Digital Research later came back into the DOS market with DR-DOS claiming it to be based on CP/M 86 and thier own DOS code, and by others as a reverse engineered copy of IBM PC-DOS. Certainly DR-DOS uses the IBMDOS.SYS kernel naming style! And GEM a Graphical User Interface at about the same time as Microsoft were developing Windows.

我英文不好，下面是机器翻译的，你再整理一下吧
不同地通认当西雅图计算机86-DOS, IBM 个人计算机DOS (PC-DOS), 天顶Z-DOS, 和MS-DOS - 86-DOS 由西雅图计算机产品开发了为它基于8086 的计算机系统。 MS-DOS 历史交错以软件的一般发展为基于8086 的计算机。
在1979 年5月, 西雅图计算机做了第一原型它的8086 个微处理器卡片为S-100 公共汽车。 有简要的讨论以数字式研究关于使用西雅图计算机的原型的当中一个援助在开发CP/M-86, 将准备好"很快。"虽然西雅图计算机考虑使用CP/M-86 当它变得可利用(期望没有更晚比后期的1979), 有只8086 个处理器卡片的二个工作原型, 并且它认为两个必要在房子。 所以, 没有任意一为数字式研究。
微软已经起动一个强的8086 软件发展节目。 企业准备好尝试独立盘BASIC 的8086 版本, 是它的BASIC 口译员的版本以一个固定操作系统。 在最近二个星期1979 年5月期间, 这BASIC 使完全地功能使用西雅图计算机为微软提供的硬件。 西雅图计算机产品显示了完全包裹(8086 连续盘BASIC) 在纽约第一星期6月在1979 全国计算机会议。 (这是8086 的第一公开显示BASIC 和一张8086 个处理器卡片为S-100 公共汽车。)
西雅图计算机运输了它的第一张8086 张卡片在1979 年11月, 与独立盘BASIC 根据数字式研究CP/M 作为唯一的软件跑对此。 月被滚动, 和CP/M-86 在视线内无处是。 终于, 在1980 年4月, 西雅图决定创造它自己的DOS 。 这个决定正起因于对CP/M's 缺点的关心象从对一个通用操作系统的紧急需要。 至于是QDOS 每新操作系统或CP/M 的适应是困难说, 它更加肯定说CP/M 86 更大量有与相同QDOS 比CP/M 有。 对什么合作的水平有在数字式研究和西雅图计算机之间或如果代码被复制了从未将是解决。
操作系统的第一版本, 称QDOS 0 。10, 运输了在1980 年8月。 QDOS 代表快和肮脏的操作系统因为它匆匆收拾在这样仓促(二man-months), 但这惊奇很好有效。 它有所有基本的公共事业为装配语言的发展除了编辑。 一个星期后, 西雅图计算机创造了一个操作系统与编辑, 荒唐以EDLIN (线编辑著名) 。 一个原始line-oriented 系统, 它应该对为时少于六个月。 (不幸地, 它长期持续了比那当部份MS-DOS 。)
在最近几天1980 年之内, DOS 的一个新版本被发布了, 现在通认作为86-DOS 0 。3. 西雅图计算机传递这个新版本到微软, 买了非排除性的权利销售86-DOS 和当时有一名顾客为它。 并且关于这时间, 数字式研究发布了CP/M-86 的第一拷贝。 在1981 年4月, 西雅图计算机产品发布了86-DOS 1 。与MS-DOS 的版本是非常相似今天广泛被分布的00, 。
在1981 年7月, 微软买了所有权利对DOS 从西雅图计算机, 并且命名MS-DOS 被采取了。 突然之后, IBM 宣布了个人计算机(个人计算机), 使用作为它的操作系统什么根本上是西雅图计算机的86-DOS 1 。14. 微软连续改进DOS, 提供版本1 。24 对IBM (当IBM 的PC-DOS 1 。1) 以MS-DOS 1 。25 作为第一一般发行对所有MS-DOS 顾客在1982 年3月。
数字式研究以后回来了入DOS 市场与DR-DOS 要求它根据CP/M 86 并且thier 拥有DOS 代码, 和由其他人如同IBM 的一个反向设计的拷贝PC-DOS 。 DR-DOS 一定使用IBMDOS 。SYS 仁命名样式! 并且宝石一个图形用户界面大约在微软开发窗口的同时。
