Disk Operating System
(DOS) The original disk operating system
from IBM.
DOS was the low-end OS of choice on the IBM 360, the
high-end system was called just "OS". DOS had a smaller
kernel and less functionality than OS and could run on the
typical 32K 360/30 and 64K 360/40 class machines.
DOS was a successor to TOS.

disk operating system
(DOS) The name of a number of {operating
systems} which include facilities for storing files on disk,
often used to refer to Microsoft DOS. Such a system must
handle physical disk I/O, the mapping of file names to disk
addresses and protection of files from unauthorised access (in
a multi-user system).
A DOS should present a uniform interface to different storage
device such as floppy disks, hard disks and {magnetic
tape} drives. It may also provide some kind of locking to
prevent unintentional simultaneous access by two processes to
the same file (or record).
