Apple II DOS was a family of disk operating systems for the Apple II series. It was superseded by ProDOS in 1983. Apple DOS has three major releases: DOS 3.1, DOS 3.2, and DOS 3.3; each one of these three releases was followed by a second, minor "bug-fix" release, but only in the case of Apple DOS 3.2 did that minor release receive its own version number.
The evolution of DOS:
DOS 3 - 29 June 1978
DOS 3.1 - 20 July 1978 .... for Disk II
DOS 3.2 - 16 February 1979 .... long list of changes
DOS 3.2.1 - 31 July 1979 .... maintenance release
DOS 3.3 - 25 August 1980 ... hardware/software upgrade
DOS 3.3 - 1 January 1983 .... maintenance release
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak designed the Disk II controller but Steve Jobs decided to outsource the DOS development. Digital Research's CP/M was considered, but Wozniak wanted an to use operating system. On 10 April 1978 Apple a $13,000 contract was agreed with Shepardson Microsystems to write a DOS in 35 days. Apple provided detailed specifications, and Apploid Randy Wigginton worked closely with Shepardson's Paul Laughton who coded DOS with punched cards on a minicomputer.
Apple DOS 1 and 2 were development versions, Apple DOS 3.0, a renamed issue of version 2.8, was never publicly released due to bugs. Apple published no official documentation until release 3.2.
The Package should include: 1) Disk drive; 2) Controller Card; 3) A flat ribbon cable; 4) A "SYSTEM MASTER" disk; 5) A "BASICS" disk; 6) "The DOS Manual"
2 Disk 5.25 and "The DOS Manual" only are included.
