ANDOS is a Russian
FAT12 file system on 800 Kb floppy disks. For Electronika BK-0011M and BK-0011, ANDOS could emulate a BK-0010 by loading a BK-0010 read-only memory (ROM) image into BK-0011(M) random-access memory
(RAM). In minimal configuration, the system could occupy less than 4 Kb of RAM.
The system was able to support up to 64 disk drives (or
RAM disks
in the computer's memory and tape recording. It could also have read-only access to MicroDOS file system format disks, although in the last version, this function was transferred from system core to the file manager and became optional.
