Mike Thornton, writing over at Pro Tools Expert, goes through a history of Pro Tools from 1983 up to the present day:

The history of Pro Tools goes all the way back to 1983 with the release of E-MU’s Drumulator drum machine. Evan Brooks and Peter Gotcher, who were high school friends and both graduated from the University of California saw an opportunity and set about creating new sound libraries for the Drumulator and set up Digidrums, and offered upgrade EPROM microchips a year after the release of the E-MU drum machine.
