It handles floppy disks (double sided, double density), hard disk drivess, and CD-ROMs. Maximum iS-DOS partition size on a hard disk is 16 MiB.
Unlike TR-DOS, iS-DOS is random-access memory (RAM) based. Such operating systems reduce the amount of memory available for user programs.
Versions
iS-DOS Chic is a version developed for Nemo KAY. It provides more memory for user programs.
TASiS, based on iS-DOS Chic, is a modern version developed by NedoPC for ATM Turbo 2+ in 2006. It supports text mode and high memory of that machine.
