Many answers, but NOT all!

BTW, the minor component of the version number is a TWO digit decimal
number, and is internally stored as such. For example, 2.11 is internally
stored as two point eleven (02.0Bh; 3.30 is NOT three point three - it is
stored as three point thirty! (03.1Eh)

2.11 supported a lot of individual mods.
Gavilan MS-DOS 2.11 supported 3.5" drives
HP and others intro'd 3.5" long before IBM (3.20).
2.11 was the version of DOS that was used.
