DR-DOS

Kaypro Corp. has been equipping all computers in its new "KC" line of economical machines with the DR-DOS operating system published by Digital Research Inc.

"We've chosen DR-DOS because it is 25 percent faster, yet compatible with MS-DOS. It offers more features, without some of the limitations of its well-known counterparts," stated Andrew Kay, president and chairman of the board of Solana Beach-based Kaypro Corp.

DR-DOS is included at no extra charge with the KC line of computers which Kaypro has recently begun to manufacture. The computer line includes the KC-1, a complete 8088 microcomputer which retails for $795; the KC-2, an 80286 microcomputer which sells for $1,195; and the newest addition to the KC line, the KC-3, an 80386, 20 MHz microcomputer retailing for $2,095. This is not the first time that Digital Research and Kaypro have teamed up. According to Kay, "We started with Digital Research back in 1982 with our very first computer systems, and we've had a solid working relationship with them ever since.

"DR-DOS is an extremely fast, memory-efficient operating system which enables us to provide the consumer with the high-value/low-price product he has come to expect from Kaypro."

The newest version of DR-DOS is release 3.41. It is a high-quality, single-user operating system which is ROMable and DOS-compatible.
