        Here in Brazil many people and softhouses altered the MSXDOS to
other names, like DDX-DOS, DMX-DOS, etc. A brazilian drive interface
producer, DDX, released its "DDX-DOS 2.0", that is only the MSX-DOS 2
altered to "DDX".
        The only genuine brazilian DOS is SOLX-DOS, from Microsol, a
brazilian drive producer (now they produce line filters for AC).
        But I had really found some different DOS1 versions, like the
MSXDOS 1.40, that have some new commands, like VER, SET ECHO (it works!),
COLOR, etc.
        I had discovered another spanish DOS1 (unfortunatelly, just the
COMMAND.COM, altered) that use a CONFIG.SYS file (I don't know how to
program it).
        And, finally, something that make me very curious: I found the
text "MSXDOS 2.2 by Tim Paterson" and "MSXDOS 2.2 (c) Microsoft" on some
drive interfaces and ROM/RAM dumps...
        Somebody knows what is it?
