ROM-DOS is a highly compatible operating system to MS-DOS. ROM-DOS is all original code, designed specifically for the embedded systems market. It is smaller in size than MS-DOS and the per copy royalty is often considerably less, depending on quantity. Designed specifically for embedded and handheld systems, ROM-DOS has all the standard DOS desktop utilities needed for an embedded system. Some utilities have been refined to provide only the basics to optimize space. ROM-DOS can be booted from floppy disks, hard drives, CD-ROM drives, flash and solid state disk drives.
