  DR-DOS Redux @ SYS-CON AUSTRALIA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
DeviceLogics has also concocted a Linux migration vehicle for DR-DOS that it calls DRLX 1.0, a small-footprint 2MB combination of both DR-DOS 8.0 and the Linux 2.4 kernel.
DeviceLogics says it's intended for companies migrating from DOS to Linux as well as companies developing new Linux systems, specifically those PC/104 single-board computers.
Tribe said DeviceLogics is willing to do royalty buyout deals for $20,000 that include future generations of whatever product DRLX is being licensed for.

 Boot loader launches Linux from DR-DOS
Devicelogics is shipping a DR-DOS based Linux loader that loads the Linux kernel while preserving DR-DOS in memory so that, upon Linux session completion, the system returns to DR-DOS.
According to Devicelogics, DRLX is a DR-DOS application that enables OEMs to quickly load and run Linux applications from a native FAT32 file system, simplifying the management of embedded images and files.
Devicelogics offers OEMs a "Try-Before-You-Buy" development program from the company's website, which also offers further details about DRLX and DR-DOS.

 NewsForge | DR DOS lives
DeviceLogics is a startup firm in Lindon, Utah, which is also home to The SCO Group.
Two years later, in recognition of the fact that most of its income was coming from proprietary Unix sales rather than Linux, Caldera Systems changed its name to the SCO Group.
Of course, as good as it was -- and obviously it was good enough to deeply trouble Bill Gates and company -- DR DOS was never as successful in the marketplace as it turned out to be in the courtroom.

 [No title]
DeviceLogics, Inc., a new start-up founded by Bryan Sparks, Bryce Burns and Troy Tribe, have acquired DR-DOS from Lineo, Inc. last month.
Actually, I think, DeviceLogics, Inc. should be headquartered in Phoenix, not Lindon, or so to speak.
But as a by-product of enhancing DR-DOS for the embedded systems market, I still hope, DeviceLogics will also bring forward a version for desktops as well as for Linux and possibly also for Windows DOS boxes.

 Start-up revives once-vaunted DR-DOS - Network World
DeviceLogics, a company co-founded last month by Bryan Sparks, former CEO and founder of Linux vendors' Lineo (now Embedix) and Caldera Systems (now SCO Group), has bought DR-DOS, which once competed against Microsoft's MS-DOS.
DeviceLogics purchased DR-DOS from Lineo, where it underwent minor functional development during the past few years.
Observers say the operating system, which is expected to ship in the first quarter of next year, could be more efficient and less expensive than Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE or Linux.

DeviceLogics also rolled out at the show a DR-DOS-based Linux application called DRLX 1.0, which DeviceLogics is positioning as a migration utility for customers who want to migrate from DOS to Linux.

A brief history of DR-DOS ownership is provided in the press release, followed by this description: "DeviceLogics, Inc. was founded by Bryan Sparks, Bryce Burns and Troy Tribe for the advancement of DOS as an embedded solution." For more information, they referenced their "drdos.com" Web site and Tribe's phone number as a press contact.
He was the former CEO of Lineo, Inc and is CEO of DeviceLogics, Inc., as according to Network World article referenced on the DeviceLogics Web site.
DeviceLogics is a startup firm in Lindon, Utah, which is also home to The SCO Group." My guess is that Sparks bought the assets at that courthouse auction.

Devicelogics is also headed up by Bryan Sparks, a Caldera founder who went on to run Lineo.

 Dr. DOS still 'doing it' at 8.0
The company says the most significant enhancement in the latest version of this long-lived (and "stable") operating system is support for FAT32 large partitions, enabling DR-DOS "to keep up with market demand for DOS-based embedded solutions built on FAT32 platforms."
"DR-DOS is the fastest-to-market, the most reliable -- and with new FAT32 and Linux extensions -- the absolute best operation system for single-task embedded devices," boasts Devicelogics CEO and co-founder Bryan Sparks.
Devicelogics says DR-DOS 8.0 is immediately available as a web download and costs $200 for a "5-user" license pack, and non-royalty volume licensing options are available.

 I, Cringely . The Pulpit . What Lies Beneath | PBS
Back when Unix meant typing on a command line, in the PC world there were versions of DOS from vendors other than Microsoft, and in fact, some of those products are still available.
What DR-DOS did for Caldera was give it an inherited anti-trust claim against Microsoft because Redmond kept changing Windows to make it incompatible with DR-DOS, which — if you do it just to be mean — is against anti-trust law.
Caldera won more than $100 million from Microsoft in an out-of-court settlement, making their day, and then DR-DOS moved on to Lineo, a Novell/Caldera partnership for embedded software, and finally to DeviceLogics, which plans an 8.0 version for later this year, again aimed primarily at embedded apps.

 While DR-DOS was, in my opinion, the obvious 'winner' among all available free alternatives until it was recently (November 18, 2002) purchased by DeviceLogics, Inc.
DR-DOS originated in 1987 at Digital Research, Inc. It was acquired by Novell in the early 90s then in 1996 DR-DOS was acquired by Caldera Inc. In 1998 it was spun out to Lineo Inc. (a Canopy company) and in October 2002 DR-DOS has been acquired by DeviceLogics, Inc.
But instead of an upgrade of the previous DR-DOS 8.0 released last year based on the old Caldera DR-DOS 7.03 code, as one would expect, it's something completely different:
