Page "Gary Kildall" Paragraph 8

CP / M's quick success took Kildall by surprise, and he was slow to update it for high density floppy disks and hard disks.

After hardware manufacturers talked about creating a rival operating system, Kildall started a rush project to develop CP / M 2.

By 1981, at the peak of its popularity, CP / M ran on 3, 000 different computer models and DRI had $ 5. 4 million in yearly revenues.
