No, the drives were optional. DOS was sold separately. I've had PC's
with the cassette connector but never seen anything connect to it.

BTW has
anyone ever seen someone use the cassette port? I supported
several hundred early PC user's and never even heard of anyone using the
cassette port.
Well, just off the top of my head, the original IBM PC came with two 5 1/4"
floppy drives. That tells me you'd have to be crazy to even attempt using
the cassette interface. Either that or have some special purpose
application (don't even want to imagine what).
