DOS history?

(1/3) > >>

AdmiralAK:
Anyone know where I can get a history of the "DOS" genre of operating systems?  ALL the websearches that I do refer to MS and PC DOS!!!!  :mad:  -- quite annoying!

I know about the 2 DOS histories at freedos.org but they do not have specific dates or version numbers

KernelPanic:
erm, exclude MS-DOS and anything else you don't want in your search????

You know maybe "Disk Operating System" history -Microsoft

Although Microsoft is probably in most documents, but try it.

Copperhead:
Do a search on QDOS.

That is what is was called before Palpatine/The Borg Queen went to Seattle and "acquired" it.

QDOS = "Quick and Dirty Operating System."

Windows 1.0 was based on it, even before it became known as "MS-DOS."

It's made with FrontPage, that's why it sucks.
