About: DOS/V

An Entity of Type: organisation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

DOS/V is a Japanese computing initiative starting in 1990 to allow DOS on IBM PC compatibles with VGA cards to handle double-byte (DBCS) Japanese text via software alone. It was initially developed from PC DOS by IBM for its PS/55 machines (a localized version of the PS/2), but IBM gave the driver source code to Microsoft, who then licensed a DOS/V-compatible version of MS-DOS to other companies. Kanji fonts and other locale information are stored on the hard disk rather than on special chips as in the preceding AX architecture. As with AX, its great value for the Japanese computing industry is in allowing compatibility with foreign software. This had not been possible under NEC's proprietary PC-98 system, which was the market leader before DOS/V emerged. DOS/V stands for "Disk Operating S

dbo:abstract
  • DOS/V ist eine Variante des Betriebssystems DOS für den japanischen Markt, welche von IBM und Microsoft entwickelt wurde und 1990 erstmals erschien. Die Bezeichnung rührt daher, dass das Betriebssystem den graphischen Modus des VGA-Standards ausnutzt. Mit der so möglichen Auflösung von 640×480 Pixel können auch japanische Schriftzeichen dargestellt werden. Die notwendigen Eingabemethoden und Schriften werden softwareseitig umgesetzt, sodass DOS/V auch auf westlichen Rechnern ausgeführt werden kann. Zuvor waren in Japan eigene Computer, allen voran die PC-98-Serie des Herstellers NEC, in Gebrauch, die inkompatibel zu westlichen Programmen waren. (de)

As with AX, its great value for the Japanese computing industry is in allowing compatibility with foreign software. This had not been possible under NEC's proprietary PC-98 system, which was the market leader before DOS/V emerged. DOS/V stands for "Disk Operating System/VGA" (not "version 5"; DOS/V came out at approximately the same time as DOS 5). In Japan, IBM compatible PCs became popular along with DOS/V, so they are often referred to as "DOS/V machine" or "DOS/V pasocom" even though DOS/V operating systems are no longer common. The promotion of DOS/V was done by IBM and its consortium called PC Open Architecture Developers' Group (OADG). Digital Research released a Japanese DOS/V-compatible version of DR DOS 6.0 in 1992.

  • DOS/V는 1990년에 시작한 일본의 컴퓨팅 이니셔티브로, 개인용 컴퓨터가 소프트웨어만으로 더블 바이트 일본어 문자를 이용할 수 있게 도와 준다. IBM이 PS/55 컴퓨터 (IBM PS/2의 현지화판)용으로 개발하였다. 일본어의 한자 글꼴과 다른 지역 정보가 에서 쓰였던 특별한 칩이 아닌 하드 디스크에 저장된다. AX처럼 외국 소프트웨어와의 호환성을 허용한 것으로 말미암아 일본 컴퓨터 산업이 느끼는 가치가 컸다. 이는 DOS/V가 병합되기 전까지 NEC의 사유 PC-98 시스템에서는 불가능한 것이었다. DOS/V는 Disk Operating System/VGA의 약자로, DOS 5와 거의 동시에 출시되었다. (ko)

  • DOS/V is een op DOS gebaseerd besturingssysteem dat in 1990 op de markt werd gebracht door IBM. Het is een speciale versie voor de Japanse markt zodat men op IBM Personal Computers en klonen Japanse tekens kon invoeren. Het besturingssysteem werd initieel ontwikkeld voor IBM (een Japanse versie van PS/2). Kanji-lettertypes en andere regionale informatie werd bewaard op de harde schijf in plaats van een computerchip. NEC, destijds marktleider van personal computers in Japan, startte een samenwerking met IBM om DOS/V ook uit te brengen voor de NEC PC-98. DOS/V mag men niet verwarren met PC-DOS 5. (nl)

  • We hid the DOS/V run on other IBM compatible machines. The fact was that we developed it could run on Gateway's and any machines, but we had to keep the secret, not to spread it, because there are lots of enemies inside the company. In short, it was a double-edged sword. If the DOS/V run on such cheap compatible machines, conversely the 5550 series which had taken high profit up may not be sold. In fact, 80% of staff in Yamato office opposed it. (en)
