## 3 History
- Around 1997, Carsten Sorensen (AKA SurfSmurf) writes ASMotor as a
general-purpose assembler/linker system for DOS/Win32
- Around 1999, Justin Lloyd (AKA Otaku no Zoku) adapts ASMotor to read and
produce GBZ80 assembly/machine code, and releases this version as RGBDS.
- 2009, Vegard Nossum adapts the code to be more UNIX-like and releases this
version as rgbds-linux on [GitHub](https://github.com/vegard/rgbds-linux).
- 2010, Anthony J. Bentley forks that repository. The fork becomes the reference
implementation of rgbds.
- 2017, Bentley's repository is moved to a neutral name.
