COMPAQ MS-DOS 2.11 Boot Sector
Unlike COMPAQ’s 1.x releases, which used system files IOSYS.COM and MSDOS.COM, COMPAQ switched to IBM’s naming convention: IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM. However, COMPAQ opted to use an OEM signature of CCC 2.1 instead of IBM 2.0.
The boot sector of the COMPAQ MS-DOS 2.11 disk image contains the following bytes:
