Hello,

    It seems to be impossible to find an original DOS 3 (without .0 or .1) 
as the first version before DOS 3.1 was released.  Is it true that Steve 
Worniak (Woz) wrote DOS 3 into the cassette tape?  After loading DOS 3 and 
RWTS routine from the cassette tape, RWTS routine was done to write to the 
floppy disk.  Then floppy disk becomes DOS 3 Master and no longer depend on 
the cassette tape.
    What do you think?
