Creative Micro Designs, Inc. (CMD) was founded in 1987 by Doug Cotton and Mark Fellows.

CMD's first product, JiffyDOS, was developed from 1985 onwards by Mark Fellows.

An updated disk operating system, it maintained broad compatibility with Commodore floppy drives' DOS while offering much increased read-write access.

In July of that year, programmer Maurice Randal was sold an exclusive license to produce and sell the Commodore-related products.

Since January of that year, he has sold the product via his webshop Retro Innovations.
