At time there where more or less at same time
PC dos IBM
Qdos more or less the father of MS dos
If you buy a floppy drive you also get from the manufacture a floppy with a form of Dos
Qdos stands fore Quick Disk Operating System
Even with a Spectrum Sinclar you can use a certain kind of drive

By the 1989 there were already hard drives bigger than 40, 80 and 120 megabytes, VGA graphics and 1 MB of RAM became very common in late 286 models (with clock speeds exceeding original XT 4,77 MHz and getting up to 12 MHz (remember "turbo" button?)). Please FIX the mistakes:
