| | PC-DOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, in the meantime the needs of computer users and the application development focus have shifted from DOS to Windows, which has grown into an operating system of its own, and since the introduction of 32-bit File Access in version 3.11 was merely using DOS as a boot loader. | | | Versions 7 and 2000 support a floppy format known as XDF, which allows for more data to be written to a standard floppy than usual. | | | Windows 95 still allowed dual-booting with DOS on the same disk partition, be it a Microsoft or a competing release, but it made little sense to the user and could endanger long file names. |

| | PC DOS |
| | After licensing DOS from Microsoft, IBM shipped it with their Personal Computer as PC DOS version 1.0 in 1981. | | | With the introduction of the IBM XT in early 1983, a new version of DOS was shipped, the PC DOS 2.0. | | | A new version 1.10 was released shortly after to take advantage of the new double sided floppy disk drives released by IBM and to fix a few bugs in the first version. |

| | DOS and Windows 3.1 - The Hand-Me-Down PC |
| | This freed the creators of DOS from worrying about multi-tasking, the ability of a computer to shuffle memory and jump from task to task, something that multi-user mainframes computers are required to do. | | | All of the work the students do is kept on a floppy disk that is given to them at the beginning of the course. | | | The operating system came to be known by the acronym DOS (Disk Operating System), pronounced like "loss" with a "d." There is actually another layer of software that works even more closely with the hardware than the operating system, called the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), and this software is permanently stored on the motherboard. |

| | The IBM Personal Computer ("PC") was not as powerful as many of the other personal computers it was competing against at the time of its release. | | | This time IBM was determined to do it right - in order to save time and money, instead of developing their own hardware and software, they used already available off-the-shelf components. | | | The CPU was from Intel, and the operating system (OS) was by Microsoft, who licensed it to IBM as PC-DOS. |

| | Virtual PC - DOS |
| | I installed DOS 6.22; the 6.x versions of DOS came with a utility called "memmaker.exe" which is used to optimize so-called "lower" memory to give your application more room. | | | Fortunately the virtual machine is an ideal computer for DOS, and almost everything can be made to run with little effort. | | | Installation is simple: set up a virtual machine under Virtual PC, then set your virtual machine to capture either "Drive A:" or an image of your first DOS setup disk. |

| | The very first PC’s had only 16 KB RAM and no floppy disk units, they used cassettes to load & store programs (notice that the commands to handle the cassette drives were present in the operating system all the way up to MS-DOS 5!). | | | Then they asked to Digital Research (the creators of CP/M) to create an operating system for their new computer, as DR was not very interested, they then asked a small company (famous for its BASIC Programming Language) to write the operating system: Microsoft. | | | The computer which caused the death of CP/M computers. |

| | To resolve these problems, replace the PC DOS files on the floppy disk with an earlier version of PC DOS files or with the MS DOS 7.01 files. | | | In some cases, even when replacing PC DOS files with earlier versions of PC DOS files, manually replacing the files might not be sufficient to resolve the problem. | | | Remove the PC DOS files from the floppy. |

| | Larry Osterman's WebLog : What's the difference between MS-DOS and PC-DOS? |
| | IBM set the direction in hardware for the PC industry, and one of their requirements was that every new IBM computer needed to have a version of PC-DOS for the computer. | | | However, as time went on, it became very clear that PCs needed to be 100% IBM compatible to survive, and given that their computers were completely compatible with IBM’s computers, the OEM’s became dissatisfied with this process. | | | This made sense even in 1984 because not every PC sold was 100% IBM compatible. |
