If anything DOS has it's roots in CP/M. Ahhh, those were the days!
Back in the days of using PIP, which probably had it's roots in
RSX or RSTS.

DOS was created in 1981 MINIX in 1987 so it is hardly possible for DOS to have been created by
taking parts of MINIX. Do a search of the history of each on Google.

Minix strings in the code. I saw that in the DOS 1 code using a hex
editor. :-)
