   The answer is in the name.   
      
   MS-DOS   
      
   Microsoft DOS   
      
   Micro   
      
   micro-computers are the smallest end of the system with mainframes and   
   supers at the other end of the system.   
      
   IBM provided a Disk Operating System for early and / or smaller mainframes.   
      
   But Microsoft never provided DOS for mainframes.
