Well, off the top of my head I can think of AmDOS, OzDOS, UniDOS and I
think there was another one that I can't remember the name of right
now.

As far as I know, UniDOS is commercial (I just got an original disk
and manual a couple weeks ago and haven't had a chance to play with it
yet) so I don't think you can find it legally on the internet.  UniDOS
was published my MindCraft, the Nibble folk, and as far as I know has
not been reclassified.

There was a DOS 3.3 for 3.5" drives that came with Prosel.  I think it
is one of the ones I've already mentioned but I can't remember that
right now either.  I'm a big help here, aren't I.  :-)

However, I know that there are one or two DOS 3.3 for 3.5" drives that
are freeware or shareware and are downloadable from the internet but I
can't give you any exact URLs.  Just look around some of the main FTP
sites and see what you can find.
