DRDOS-tan (DRDOSたん) is one of the least common DOS personifications. She personifies CP/M, DR-DOS and its aliases. CP/M was an operating system originally created for Intel 8080/85 based microcomputers by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc. Created in 1974 as project by Dr. Kildall, it morphed into the flagship product of Digital Research. As times changed and the IBM PC became the industry standard, CP/M had to be modified. It became DR-DOS, a PC DOS-compatible operating system for IBM PC-compatible personal computers, originally developed by Gary Kildall's Digital Research and derived from CP/M-86. She is personified as a grey-haired woman in a doctor's uniform with glasses and CP/M hair clips. She is usually accompanied by her daughters, PC-DOS and QDOS.
