hmmm... I remember when you had to turn on the computer with the boot disk for the game you wanted to play in the 1 drive and every BIG game came with its own OP disk... ZORK??? But there was a sort of AtariDOS I remember that could list files on a disk and run them... no fancy crud just a numbered list of commands and then a numbered list of RUN?: and you typed in the number and the program started...
WHere was I going with this? Oh yeah... Used to be that way (or so it seemed) that all the BIG games had their own OS to run them. The only few I can remember are ZORK and Space for the Atari (had 9 floppys that one did!)
I can even remember having a conversation with my Dad about why anyone would need more than 64k? Then the 286 came out and I realized why.
Still have a copy of windows286. Don't think it will load now.
