AmigaDOS is pretty much almost same as AmigaOS (DOS = Disk Operating System) and I think AmigaDOS was the most common name to describe the OS by name in 80s.

Whats Amiga's OS? answer: Workbench


But it still isnt. AROS and MorphOS dont even have Workbench.

Does Amiga have a BIOS? answer: it has a Kickstart


No it doesnt until it is AmigaOne or Pegasos or PC. They have BIOS, real Amigas dont.

Mhhh.. wait... my C64 has BIOS too. When I turn it on I get strange command prompt where I can start loading GEOS or some other operating system. Hmm... interesting.

You know what they are asking when they ask these kinds of questions. When someone asks what OS a PC uses, we dont get all technical and Start refering to Windows Explorer or MSDOS...we Just say Windows.


Yeah, like Linux users when asked what OS they use they answer they are using Bash OS, KDE OS or Gnome OS.
