| | Disk operating system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Both hard disks and floppy disk drives require software to manage rapid access to block storage of sequential and other data. | | | Most home computer DOS'es were stored on a floppy disk always to be booted at start-up, with the notable exception of Commodore, whose DOS resided on ROM chips in the disk drives themselves, available at power-on. | | | In microcomputers, SWTPC's 6800 and 6809 machines used TSC's FLEX disk operating system, Radio Shack's TRS-80 machines used TRS-DOS, their Color Computer used OS-9, and most of the Intel 8080 based machines from IMSAI, MITS (makers of the legendary Altair 8800), Cromemco, North Star, etc used the CP/M-80 disk operating system. |

| | Introduction to DOS (Disk Operating System) |
| | Data from the input device is interpreted by the operating system into language understood by the computer. | | | DOS also represents the most popular operating system for IBM and compatible personal computers, ensuring that many different programs can run on a computer that is suing this operating system. | | | Microcomputers containing internal hard disks load the disk operating system into memory when the machine is turned on. |

| | MS-DOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although its role as a desktop computer operating system has greatly diminished, today it is still used in various embedded x86 systems due to its simplistic architecture, minimal memory requirements, and minimal processor speed requirements. | | | MS-DOS was created by computer manufacturer Seattle Computer Products (SCP) in 1980 as QDOS (for Quick and Dirty Operating System), but was renamed 86-DOS because it was designed to run on the Intel 8086 processor. | | | It has gradually been replaced on consumer desktop computers with various generations of the Windows operating system. |

| | 2.2 Disk Operating System (DOS) |
| | Recall that Operating System is a group of software tools which allow users and programmers to use the computers in the best way. | | | To access the disk the computer needs to convert physical disk geometry (the number of cylinders on the disk, number of heads per cylinder, and sectors per track) to a logical configuration that is compatible with the operating system. | | | The disk bootstrap is usually read into memory by the ROM bootstrap, which is executed automatically when the computer is turned on. |

| | On a floppy disk, for example, this sector is the first one on the floppy disk because DOS recognizes the floppy disk as a volume without the need for partitioning. | | | DOS 5 was the first version of the operating system to be marketed on a retail level, and users turned out in droves to upgrade their systems. | | | The floppy disk controllers and hard disk controllers are very different as well, but all the layers perform the same functions for both floppy disks and hard disks. |

IBM needed Software to run on it, and an Operating System. | | | The founder, Gary Kildall, created the first Disk Operating System for Microcomputers called CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers). |
