the article states: "BSD, Linux, MS-DOS and the Windows NT based operating systems also have a HAL."

but does MS-DOS really have any HAL?

maybe someone more competent could either fix the article or confirm the existence of the abstraction layer in ms-dos...

Well, MS-DOS was designed so that io.sys serves as an HAL, so that the OS can run with no changes to other parts of the system. See Non-PC compatible x86 computers. Yuhong 00:38, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
