IBM PC-DOS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:48, 17 April 2019

IBM PC-DOS (Personal Computer Disk Operating System) is an operating system for x86 based personal computers developed by Microsoft and IBM (later by IBM exclusively). Up to version 5.00, PC-DOS (then called IBM DOS) was just a rebranded IBM OEM version of MS-DOS, though IBM used their own versioning system. However, with version 5.00, IBM decided to continue PC-DOS development without Microsoft and renamed the product to IBM PC-DOS. Therefor, version 5.00 and later are IBM's own creation independent of MS-DOS. The first version released was version 1.00 and the last version was PC-DOS 2000, an updated release of PC-DOS 7.0.

Known versions

PC-DOS 1.x

PC-DOS 2.x

2.00
2.10

PC-DOS 3.x

PC-DOS 4.x

4.00
4.01 - Very rare, same fixes as MS-DOS 4.01, but released by IBM in 4.00 packaging. The only evidence of this being 4.01 and not just regular 4.00 is on the floppy disk labels where it clearly says 4.01.
