Virtually every 8086 S-100 system ran either CP/M-86 or MS-DOS.
Starting with Seattle Computer Products "Q-DOS" which later BECAME MS-DOS,
86-DOS, SB86-DOS?
But, ...
Because the architecture of the system is likely to NOT be the same as the
IBM-PC, It will usually be MS-DOS, NOT PC-DOS, and will usually be early
versions, that were less tied to the IBM PC architecture. The ones
already mentioned are mostly v 1.00
2.11 is the most recent version that would be practical, unless the
machine was explicitly intended to be an IBM clone.
