Do you know what the popular choice was?
My Guess is IBM-DOS ... MS-DOS only came more
popular with the clones. Now what programing languges
did you have back then? Assembler , Pascal and Fortran
come to mind.
Erm, you seem to have left out BASIC, one version of which didn't require
you to have disks to use (ROM BASIC); however, that was probably more
useful on the 5150 PC than the 5160 PC/XT since the PC had a cassette
interface you could use with it, which the XT lacks.
