GoKawiilThe Official DR DOS Website
DR DOS® carries forward the legacy of Gary Kildall's groundbreaking work in operating systems. Originally developed by Digital Research Inc. in 1988, DR DOS was a technically superior alternative to MS-DOS, offering better performance and compatibility.
This is not just another DOS clone. DR DOS® 9.0 is a faithful clean-room reimplementation, built from scratch to honor Kildall's vision while creating a modern, legally unencumbered DOS for the next generation of enthusiasts, developers, and hackers.
