OK, so now that everybody agrees on the meaning of DOS, what's the answer
to the original question:
When was the first DOS released?
The first hard disk was made by IBM around 1956, and I assume it didn't
take them much longer to write a DOS for it, but I don't know when they
did or what it was called.
