DRI's GEMDOS is an MSDOS 2.x clone that runs on the 68K.  It uses the
same disk structure as MSDOS and even has the same system call numbers
(except that DRI left out of obsolete FCB functions of MSDOS and only
provided the handle oriented calls. They will not be missed).  GEMDOS
is probably best known under the name "TOS" which is what it is called
on the Atari ST computer.  GEMDOS also runs on other 68K boxes (can't
talk about who).  Unfortunately DRI only talks to large OEMs, so unless
you want to license a lot of copies you are probably out of luck.
