ROM-DOS is a disk operating system that can be loaded in Read Only
Memory (ROM) and can run entirely from within ROM and also from a
hard or floppy disk, such as in a desktop system. ROM-DOS is
functionally equivalent to other brands of DOS and can run programs that
are executable under a standard DOS (which executes from RAM).
