FALSE
The original PC-DOS was 1.00 Widely distributed.
It supported only single sided 160K drives.
I have PC-DOS 1.00. I do not have an MS-DOS 1.00, but I don't think that
the entire after-market clone world waited until 1.10.
1.10 supported double sided 320K drives.
2.00 included support for sub-directories, file-handle based file IO, and
9 sector per track (v 8) for 180K and 360K drives.
