Band 11, Nr. 9, 27. Februar 1989, S. 23 (englisch, eingeschränkte Vorschau in der Google-Buchsuche): “The single-user single-tasking operating system, which is provided as an OEM product, has been licensed by 24 OEMs and corporate resellers for bundling with PC-compatibles since its introduction in May 1988, said Greg Ewald, a DRI spokesman. Most clients are Taiwanese clone makers, but more than half of their machines will be sold in the United States.”

Band 32, Nr. 36, 7. September 1998, ISSN 0010-4841, S. 8 (englisch, eingeschränkte Vorschau in der Google-Buchsuche): ‘Germany was a very important battleground between MS DOS and DR DOS in that period,’ [Steve] Hill [an attorney for Caldera] said. ‘DR DOS was offered by Vobis, the largest PC manufacturer in Germany, and Central Europe for that matter. It was probably the most significant DR DOS account. …’ … Hill noted that in the 1992–1993 time frame, Vobis went from being a DR DOS account to a strictly MS DOS account.

Diese unterstützen zwar FAT32 und LBA, sollen aber einige Fehler enthalten und sich nach Aussage von Ontrack Systems nicht für die Installation auf Festplatte eigenen!“

  • Software Developer Caldera Sues Microsoft For Antitrust Practices Alleges Monopolistic Acts Shut Its DR DOS Operating System Out of Market. (Pressemitteilung) In: Caldera News. Caldera, 24. Juli 1996, abgerufen am 30. Mai 2024 (englisch): „As these demands escalated, the suit explains, ‘a number of OEMs approached DRI and requested that it develop a version of DOS that would fill the gaps in functionality that plagued MS-DOS. ... Accordingly, in 1987 DRI began planning for a new version of DOS, to be called DR DOS. The result of DRI's initial development effort was a product designated as DR DOS 3.31, introduced on May 28, 1988. DR DOS 3.31 was followed quickly by enhanced versions of the product. Thus DR DOS 5.0, introduced in May 1990, and DR DOS 6.0, introduced in September 1991, were significantly superior to then-existing versions MS-DOS in many areas.‘“

As you know, they have acquired Digital Research and are now working hard to tightly integrate DR-DOS with NetWare. We should also assume they are working on a Windows clone and/or that they are working on a virtualised DOS environment which will run standard mode Windows as a client. This is perhaps our biggest threat.’“
