MSX-DOS is a Disk operating system developed by Microsoft for the 8-bit home computer standard MSX, and is a cross between MS-DOS rev 1.0 and CP/M.
MSX-DOS and the extended BASIC with floppy disk support were simultaneously developed by Microsoft for the developing home computer standard MSX to add disc capabilities to BASIC, and to give the system a cheaper software medium than Memory Cartridges, and a more powerful storage system than cassette tape. The standard BIOS of an unexpanded MSX did not have any floppy disk support, so the additional floppy disk expansion system came with its own BIOS ROM (built-in on the disk controller) called the BDOS, it not only added floppy disk support commands to MSX BASIC but also a booting system, with which it was possible to boot a real disk operating system. In that case BDOS bypassed the BASIC ROMs so that the whole 64K of address space of the Z80 microprocessor inside the MSX computer could be used for the DOS or for other boot-able disks,...
