DOS-11, also known as BATCH-11 is an early and short-lived OS for the DEC PDP-11. It quickly lost support in favor of the user-friendlier RT-11.

==Character details==
DOS-11-tan has short light grey hair, pale green eyes, and round thick-rimmed glasses. She appears to be in her mid- or late teens, and is short for her apparent age. Unlike other DEC-tans, she has never been depicted wearing a military uniform, and instead wore pleated skirts with loafers, and a sweater-vest. She has some combat experience, as she taught her younger sisters sword-wielding, but it isn't specified if she ever fought in any campaigns in their faction's military. She frequently carried a knife with her.


===Character details===
Representing a difficult to use OS, DOS-11-tan had a temperamental and psychotic attitude, though she still cared for her family even if she often didn't show it.  
DOS-11-tan personifies DOS-11/BATCH-11, an early OS from Digital Equipment Corporation and appears as a short teenage girl with short grey hair, glasses, a red + white school uniform, and frequently carried a knife.


Being a difficult to use OS, DOS-11-tan had a temperamental and psychotic attitude but still cared for her children though she didn't always show it. She was the caretaker and adoptive mother to [[RSTS | RSTS/E-tan]], [[RT11 | RT-11-tan]] (since DOS-11 was used in the creation of both OSes) and [[RSX | RSX-tan]].
===Family and relationships===
She was originally portrayed as the mother to [[RSTS]] and [[RT-11]]; also PDP-11 OSes, which DOS-11 was used in the creation of and RSX, an OS from a different lineage, but also a PDP-11 OS.


She claimed to be RSX's mother, even though there's evidence that RSX-tan is from another lineage, which DOS-11-tan might or might not have known about. Presumably, if she purposefully kept RSX-tan's ancestry secret, it was for the sake of DEC patriotism.
With the creation of a [[PDP-11|PDP-11-tan]] to be the mother of all the PDP-11 OSes, she was retconned to be the older sister to the other PDP-11 OSes. She was still their main caregiver; PDP-11-tan was too busy to look after her children, that she trusted DOS-11 to look after the others since she was the oldest. Unfortunately, DOS-11-tan was the least emotionally stable among them.


===Background and history===
===Background and history===
DOS-11-tan was one of the oldest DEC members, and established the faction's tradition of sword-wielding. She taught RSTS and RSX the arts of sword-wielding, but wasn't so generous towards RT-11-tan, who she clashed with a lot. Her rivalry with one of her own daughters refers to DOS-11's abandonment by many users soon after the friendlier RT-11 in 1973, and could not stand for being upstaged. The rapid loss of userbase took its toll on her lifeforce, and she passed away the next year.
