	Apple DOS
		Apple DOS 3.1, which was the first operating system for any Apple computer, was released in 1978 for the Apple II computer.
		DOS 3.1 was largely written by Steve Wozniak, Randy Wigginton, and outside contractor Paul Laughton.
		Apple DOS 3.2 was released in 1979 to reflect major changes in computer booting methods that were built into the successor of the Apple II, the Apple II Plus.

	Apple DOS - ArticleWorld (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Apple DOS is a series of disk operating systems developed by Apple for the Apple II personal computers.
		Apple DOS had only three public releases: 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, all followed by second versions with minor bug-fixes, of which only DOS 3.2.1 received its own version number among the bug-fixing releases.
		DOS 3.1 was not able to access both sides of the disk, but the user could flip it if required.

	Apple II History Chap 14
		Consider the four parts of DOS as layers; as you get closer to the bottom layer, you are closer to the hardware (the raw data on the disk and direct control of the disk drive), but you also increase greatly the difficulty of managing it.
		Apple had previously contracted with an outside consultant firm, Shepardson Microsystems, to write a BASIC interpreter for a possible upcoming successor to the Apple II.
		Apple told people not to worry about that; in fact, they told people not to pay attention to the sector counts in the catalog at all, as there was a bug in that part of the catalog routine.

	VAW: DOS and ProDOS Guide
		DOS was released for the Apple II in the late 1970's and was later replaced with ProDOS.
		Apple's DOS (Disk Operating System) was written to support their 5.25 inch floppy disk drive (Disk II) when it debuted in early 1978.
		DOS 3.3 could also be modified to do other things, such as use a few more tracks on disk for extra space, relocate itself into the top 16K of memory on a 64K machine, but these were all third party patches, nothing official from Apple.

	Apple II History Chap 15
		DOS 3.2 and 3.3 could be formatted to use up to 254 different volume "numbers", but this feature was seldom used and did not allow disks to be very unique.
		Because the Apple III was intended to be a business machine and had to be able to access larger disk devices than were allowed for the Apple II, they also added the ability to create and use different levels of file directories.
		Apple, recognizing that the computers used in the real world would never be 100 percent Apple, made it possible to simplify transfer of data between different computers.

		Apple has further developed the DOS card since the first generation "Houdini" card of early 1994.
