Please stop believing everything that you are told!
I bought PC-DOS 1.00 when it came out.
I USED PC-DOS 1.00
I continued to use PC-DOS 1.00 until 1.10 came out. Unless you are
calling me a liar or delusional (Hmmm. an option), how can there be any
doubt about whether PC-DOS 1.00 existed?
However there was
an auction on E-bay about a year ago of an unopened package that the seller
claimed was DOS 1.0. I have the same package with the same part number and
mine has a sticker on it that says "DOS 1.10". So I can't help wondering
if
their's didn't have a sticker that "accidently" came off. I wrote to
the
buyer and asked if it really was DOS 1.0 and he replied that he had not
gotten the package yet but that he would check and let me know. However I
never heard from him.
I was told that there was a DOS 1.0 but that it was never sold or
delivered to the public. But I do have some old disks that have about five
or six files of MS DOS 1.0 .
FALSE
I purchased my PC-DOS copies from Computerland (authorized IBM
peddler) and from IBM's retail product centers. I have a few unofficial
early products, but my PC-DOS 1.00 copies were as "public" as it was
possible to be.
