: terribly MS-DOS compatible but then the Acorn hardware wasn't terribly 
: PC-compatible either, so it didn't matter too much, was cheaper to 
: license, & offered some theoretical technical advantages.

: I'm not saying there was never a CDOS port - you have some interesting 
: leads there - but I never saw or even heard of it, whereas I am positive 
: the boxes shipped with DOS+. I can try and find some references for

  And those would have been the ones that ran CDOS rather than DOS Plus.
