Microsoft published MS-DOS source code to GitHub

First released back in 1981, MS-DOS was the lifeline for Microsoft back in 1980s, till Windows OS came up. Even the versions of Windows till Windows ME were built on MS-DOS. This week, Microsoft has uploaded source code of MS-DOS to GitHub, Microsoft’s recently acquired respository manager.

The GitHub repo contains the original source-code and compiled binaries for MS-DOS v1.25 and MS-DOS v2.0. The source code is same that was originally shared at the Computer History Museum back in 2014. GitHub repo will also have reference-to in external writing and works, and to allow exploration and experimentation for those interested in early PC Operating Systems.
