Operating Systems You Once Loved?

[WB4JFI]

That's not the only mistake, if the article is taken literally.  I assumed
that they meant dos (lower-case), as in a generic disk operating system.
Having lived through the history, I've even found factual errors in the book
"Fire in the Valley"/

Of course, another way to look at is is that both the Apple II and the C64
had Z80 cards as accessories, which allowed you to run CP/M on them.  I may
still have a C64 Z80 card around here somewhere....
