A 16-bit DOS refers to the Disk Operating System that operates in a 16-bit architecture, primarily associated with MS-DOS and its derivatives. It was widely used in the 1980s and early 1990s for personal computers, allowing users to run applications and manage files through a command-line interface. This system can address up to 1 MB of RAM and uses a simple file system, which laid the groundwork for later operating systems. The 16-bit architecture limits the performance and capabilities compared to modern 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
