  =====QDOS =====
-The original Sinclair QL Disk Operating System produced by [[qlwiki:Tony Tebby]] and his team at Sinclair. The QL was originally to have included an operating system called 68K/OS by [[qlwiki:GST Computer Systems]] (which eventually became available separately). QDOS comes on ROM with a BASIC interpreter written by [[http://www.jan-jones.co.uk/aboutme.html|Jan Jones]].

  =====68K/OS =====
-K/OS was an operating system designed by GST Computer Systems Ltd for the QL, but which was replaced by QDOS before the QL was launched. GST did have aspirations to make this a 'de facto' operating system for the 68000 processor series and OEM markets, though it is not known how far they got.
