I believe it was possible to use the original PC with cassette tapes instead of floppies, though you'd be limited to ROM BASIC in that case, and not PC-DOS.

- LeoPanthera 8y agoThere's a reason why DOS stands for Disk Operating System. :)
- wolfgke 8y ago> There's a reason why DOS stands for Disk Operating System. :) This is a retronym. Before purchased by Microsoft, DOS was developed by Seattle Computer Products under the name QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System). This was changed by Microsoft to MS-DOS with a changed meaning of "DOS".
- LeoPanthera 8y agoSure, that's correct. But the new name of "Disk OS" was completely relevant to this specific PC.
