Whoah - DOS 3.3 was written by Wozniak.  In fact, if I remember the story
correctly, he finished the original dos the night before a computer show
that was supposed to feature the new Apple ][ Disk Drive.  They finished
up coding late that night, and went to make a backup disk, only they
copied the blank disk on to the one with the DOS on it, and they had to
start over from scratch.
