When I moved Eastern to Western US many moons ago it seemed to me as if in the East I had always heard the acronyms spelled out: D-O-S, C-I-C-S; but that in the West I heard "doss" and "kicks."
DASD is always pronounced, isn't it? Does anyone ever say D-A-S-D? Db2 on the other hand is always spelled. No one ever says "dub-two."
