- The latest version I know of is 1.5/A, circa 1985, I believe?

- The latest version of MyDOS is 4.53. There are two versions of it.
- 4.53/3 and 4.53/4. The "/x" determines how many digits are displayed
- when you read a disk directory. (ie, "* FILENAME.EXT 123" would be
- displayed with 4.53/3, and "* FILENAME.EXT 0123" would be displayed with
- /4. Both versions show 4 digits as the "free sector" count.)
