4Subject: RE: Source code to MS-DOS 1.0
5
6
7I have found and attached the source code for MS-DOS 1.25 as shipped by Seattle Computer Products. Version 1.25 was the first general release to OEM customers other than IBM so was used by all the first clone manufacturers.
8
9IBM's DOS 1.1 corresponds to MS-DOS 1.24. There is one minor difference between 1.24 and 1.25, as noted in the revision history at the top of MSDOS.ASM.
10
11Of the file attached, only STDDOS.ASM/MSDOS.ASM (DOS main code) and COMMAND.ASM (command processor) would have been used by an OEM other than Seattle Computer. The other files:
12
13IO.ASM - I/O system unique to SCP (equivalent to ibmbio.sys).
14ASM.ASM & HEX2BIN.ASM - Old 8086 assembler developed by SCP (used to assemble older version of DOS).
15TRANS.ASM - Z80 to 8086 assembly source code translator developed by SCP.
16
17I also have a 6” stack of printouts of assembly listings for some of these and probably other related programs.
