Their disk format was definitely and deliberately intended to be an exact
replication of the documented MS-DOS disk format.
I doubt that anything other than the disk format resembles any part of
MS-DOS.
Perhaps I need to be more clear here -- this guy
really thought
that somewhere underneath the Mac GUI, there was a copy of MS-DOS
on every Macintosh. He had nothing to offer as proof, except that
no computer could possibly function without it. (I'm really
serious here...)
Did he also think that the 68000 was a copy of the 8086?
