"DOS is a platform-independent acronym for disk operating system which later became a common shorthand for disk-based operating systems on IBM PC compatibles. DOS primarily consists of Microsoft's MS-DOS and a rebranded version under the name IBM PC DOS, both of which were introduced in 1981. Later compatible systems from other manufacturers include DR DOS (1988), ROM-DOS (1989), PTS-DOS (1993), and FreeDOS (1998)." -- taken from Wikipedia (link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS) Feel free to ask questions about software, videogames, and anything else DOS related! Curious but not sure where to start? Get a copy of FreeDOS (see link / about below) and set it up in a PC emulator like GNOME Boxes or Oracle's VirtualBox. Need help with that as well? Just ask! (link: https://freedos.org/download/) "FreeDOS is an open source DOS-compatible operating system that you can use to play classic DOS games, run legacy business software, or develop embedded systems. Any program that works on MS-DOS should also run on FreeDOS." -- FreeDOS YouTube Channel (link: https://www.youtube.com/c/FreeDOSProject/about) Related lemmys:
