um.. DOS was written from scratch by Tim Paterson. it was originally called qdos, which stood for "Quick and Dirty Operating System." MS bought the rights to it and renamed it MS-DOS. It looks similiar to cp/m but its an entirely different OS.

I actually use it as my main OS. I still have windows 2k loaded on a second partition incase i want to play some games. But I use BeOS for 99% of my computer needs.

I still use a model 100 on a regular bases. Works wonderfully and does exactly what I need and its pretty darn rugged.
