| | 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. | | | 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. | | | Other companies also produced their own branded DOS versions: mostly just badge engineered MS-DOS under licence from Microsoft, but the MS-DOS based Compaq DOS included significant customisation, notably with version 3.31 which was clearly the most advanced DOS on the market for quite some time (if we ignore the CP/M-86 and DR-DOS family of products). |

| | 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. | | | With the introduction of the PCjr on November 1, 1983 came a new version of DOS, the PC DOS 2.10. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | A print server is a PC with one or more printers attached to it, where the other PCs can send their printing work, known as "print jobs.." When the desired printer is free, the print server sends it the next job, according to the order the requests came in, or some other priority based scheme. |

| | IBM 5150 Personal Computer |
| | The CPU was from Intel, and the operating system (OS) was by Microsoft, who licensed it to IBM as PC-DOS. | | | 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. | | | But there was one aspect of the PC which could not be legally copied - the BIOS, as it was copyrighted and protected by law. |

| | Virtual PC - DOS |
| | 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. | | | 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. |

| | The very first PCs 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!). | | | The original IBM PC wasn't very powerful (and was certainly less powerful than lot of 8 bit computers at the time). | | | Although the IBM PC XT was launched in 1983, IBM continued production of both units, in various configurations, for several years. |

| | How to replace the DOS files |
| | 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. |

| | Also know as PC-DOS or simply as DOS, which annoys people familiar with other similarly abbreviated operating systems (the name goes back to the mid-1960s, when it was attached to IBM's first disk operating system for the IBM 360). | | | Many of the original DOS functions were calls to BASIC (in ROM on the original IBM PC), e.g. | | | It is used on many Intel 16 and 32 bit microprocessors and IBM PC compatibles. |

| | 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. |

| | If the PC you are going to network has software or data which you do not wish to lose; backup the PC first. | | | If the Windows PC uses DHCP, or does not have a fixed IP address, they should be set to an IP address which is not used on the network; and should have the format 10.x.y.z where z is between 1 and 253. | | | Most ISA cards are software configurable and will require the configuration software to be downloaded and run on the PC with the NIC in place. |
