PC/MS-DOS 1.0?

I HAVE copies of PC-DOS 1.00 and of PC-DOS 1.10

The most visibly obvious difference was support for 2 sided drives. There
also were some patches, informally distributed, for 1.00 to use 2 sided
drives, where the second side would be seen by DOS as an additional drive.

Surely I can't be the only one here who had the first (1.00) version and
anxiously awaited the release of the second (1.10) one!

By the time Compaq came out with their first luggable, IBM was on 1.10 and
Compaq had 1.25. But what about the clones that made it out BEFORE
1.10/1.25?
