That's TRSDOS-II. The last version IIRC was 4.2 with patches. It
provided support for double-sided media in the 12/16/6000 and for
hard disks throughout the Model 2 line. It required an additional
16k of RAM that existed on Arcnet and HD adapter cards. Unlike
TRSDOS 2.0, it did not support duplicating a diskette with only one
floppy drive.
