Introduction to Lineo DR DOS 7.03 

LineoR DR DOSR 7.03 is the compact, Y2K DOS that's perfect for your embedded or thin-client solutions. As the acknowledged leader in DOS technology for years, DR DOS (formerly of Digital Research) provides developers with the most flexible and powerful DOS available. DR-DOS is ideal for your embedded applications based on Intel architecture, with the cost-effective solutions and comprehensive development tools that you need to lower risk and bring projects to a successful completion. DR-DOS provides features that other solutions don't offer, such as: support for Year 2000 operation, patented power management, and true multitasking. 

Heritage 

DR DOS began life at Digital Research in the 1980's, where the pioneering technology of CP/M was developed. Lineo is committed to the continued support of this stable and popular operating system. 

Planning the Future 

Lineo has integrated into DR DOS many of the latest technologies, making them available to small-footprint systems and embedded technology devices. 

Key Features 

100% compatible DOS 
Year 2000 compliant 
Ability to boot DOS from ROM or FLASH 
Comprehensive DOS utility set 
Multitasking, with API for developers 
Includes 286 DPMS memory manager in addition to DPMI 
DOS TCP/IP stack 
Stacker disk compression 
NWCACHE - disk caching program 
EMM386 memory manager 
DOS Protected Mode Services (DPMS) 
Multitasking 
DR DOS provides a full multitasking environment on Pentium, 486, or 386-based hardware. This is built into the memory management extensions provided in the operating system, and is accessible for standard un-aware applications when using the Task manager (Taskmgr) utility. Programs however can have direct access to create separate threads etc, via the extended Application Programming Interface. 
DPMS - A memory manager that works on 286-based PCs, allowing device drivers to reside outside of the regular DOS application area. Drivers or Terminate stay-resident applications can thereby avoid using valuable application memory. 
ROM tools 
DR DOS is the ideal embedded DOS system, designed for straight forward out-of-the-box implementation into ROM or Flash ROM. Lineo makes these tools and associated documents available in the Lineo OEM Kit. 

System Requirements 

x86 Processor 
640K RAM 
DPMS support requires 286 or above CPU and a minimum of 1MB of RAM 
Multitasking requires 386 or above CPU and a minimum of 4MB of RAM 
Includes DOS ODI drivers for all of the most popular network adapters.
