Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Originally MS-DOS was designed to be an operating system that could run on any 8086-family computer. It competed with other Operating Systems written for x86 based computers, such as CP/M-86 and UCSD Pascal. Each computer would have its own distinct hardware and its own version of MS-DOS, similar to the situation that existed for CP/M, and with MS-DOS emulating the same solution as CP/M to adapt for different hardware platforms. So there were many different versions of MS-DOS" for different hardware. But the greater speed attainable by direct control of hardware was of particular importance, especially when running computer games. So very soon an IBM-compatible architecture became the goal, and before long all 8086-family computers closely emulated IBM''s hardware, and a only single version of MS-DOS for a fixed hardware platform was all that was needed for the market. This version is the version of MS-DOS that is discussed here, as all other versions of MS-DOS died out with their system. One version of such a DOS (Z-DOS) is mentioned here, but there were dozens more. "
