   I am interested from the programming perspective.   
   MSDOS 2.0 supports open/read/write/seek/close   
   calls which can be used for hard disks up to 2 GiB,   
   even if there were underlying problems with the FAT   
   filesystem implementation that prevented large drives   
   from being used.   
      
   That's very close to everything you need to write portable   
   programs.   
      
   You can almost say it's just another flavor of Unix.
