Confirmed by a Hacker News rando. Seems legit.

  How about "confirmed by Mark Zbikowski himself in a video interview"? Does that sound better? https://youtu.be/c6yPoWrdjkU?si=hxvXTE6ZsdvJs5U9&t=1266 https://youtu.be/c6yPoWrdjkU?si=hxvXTE6ZsdvJs5U9&t=1266 (roughly 21:06 into the video)

    That's talking about the MZ signature at the start of every DOS EXE executable (and therefore every Windows EXE as they have DOS stubs), not this additional use as markers in the DOS memory management code. Which probably is also Mark Zbikowski using his initials, but doesn't seem to be confirmed.

      OK, fair enough!
