		DOS was one of the first operating systems for the PC compatible platform, and the first on that platform to gain widespread use (it was still widespread more than 10 years later).
		Still later versions of MS Windows ran independently of DOS but included much of the old code such that it could run in virtual machines under the new OS and the latest versions of MS Windows are continually dropping ever more of the DOS ancestry.
		The DOS operating system for DEC PDP-11 minicomputers (this OS and the computers it ran on were nearly obsolete by the time PCs became common, with various descendants and other replacements).

	Commodore DOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike most other DOS systems before or since—which were/are booted from disk into the system's own RAM at startup, and executed there—CBM DOS was executed internally in the drive: the DOS resided in drive-internal ROM chips, and was run by a dedicated MOS 6502 CPU.
		Version 2.6 was by far the most commonly used, and known, DOS version, due to its use in the 1541 (which sold in large numbers to users of C64s), and its emulation in the numerous third-party clones of that drive.
		During the Commodore 64 era, this was the subject of a great deal of controversy, due to alleged bugs in the command's implementation on the 154x and 157x series drives.

		Commodore compatible floppy drives made by other manufacturers also emerged, but they were independently developed (for the most part) due to the fact that the Commodore 64 and 128 drives were "intelligent peripherals" possessing chips that Commodore had decided not to license or supply to its competitors.
		Commodore owners were thrilled that they could have a computer which could perform nearly like the Macintosh-- for just a small percentage of the price of a Macintosh-- while still having color graphics and sound which surpassed the capabilities of the Macintosh.
		Commodore made several products which were fantastic ideas (in their own right) but never actually caught on because of poor timing or other unpredictable factors.

	Commodore computer history and repair information
		Reid C. Swenson, M.S. There are many individuals who have probably never heard of the Commodore home computers and are unaware of their incredible legacy and the tremendous impact which they have had upon the evolution of computers.
		Commodore's most popular model, the Commodore 64, was the Model T Ford of the home computer movement.
		Just when many individuals felt that the Commodore 64 may begin to lose ground to the newer IBM and Macintosh models of the mid 1980's a company named Berkeley Softworks created a new operating system for the Commodore 64 called GEOS which became immensely popular and helped to rejuvenate interest in the Commodore line.

		The DOS wedge consists of a group of commands to reduce the amount of work involved when using the disk drive.
		You do not have to erase the extra characters on the screen such as the file size, the built-in routines will look for the quote marks surrounding the file name, and ignore anv extra data on the line if it finds them.
		This is the only Commodore monitor of which we are aware which will allow you to relocate saves, which is most useful when creating files which will eventually be loaded to inconvenient places like screen memory or the stack.

		Personal C64 for DOS is now Freeware, and the source has been made publiclyavailable, although the Windows Freeware version was stopped before it could be completed.

		The DOS for this setup was purchased from Ronald A. Jordan who sold this DOS thru his company, Jordan and Associates.
		The 1541 physical interface was also provided by Jordan and consisted of a very simple box with one 7416 hex inverter chip with the mating connectors for the SYM and C1541 Disk Drive.
		The 1541 DOS was much better than cassette tape, but used expensive Commodore disk drives and was a little cumbersome to use.
