executed there, CBM DOS is executed internally in the drive: the DOS resides in ROM chips inside the
drive, and is run there by one or more dedicated MOS 6502 family CPUs. Thus, data transfer between
Commodore 8-bit computers and their disk drives more closely resembles a local area network connection
than typical disk/host transfers.

shell, more commonly known as the Windows command line is still used by many users.
MS-DOS is an operating system for based personal computers mostly developed by Microsoft. Collectively,
MS-DOS, its rebranding as IBM PC DOS, and some operating systems attempting to be compatible with
MS-DOS, are sometimes referred to as "DOS".
