Personal Computer Disk Operating System
- Personal Computer Disk Operating System
Abbreviated PC-DOS. The version of the DOS operating system supplied with PCs made by IBM.
PC-DOS and MS-DOS began as virtually identical operating systems, with only a few minor differences in device driver names and file sizes, but after the release of DOS 6 (MS-DOS 6.2 and PC-DOS 6.1), the two grew much further apart.
