I'm not sure I have PC Dos 2000 but if I type ver it says PC-DOS 7 and is copyrighted
if I remember 95 or 96 and IBM says.

.............................................
The following versions of DOS support the ThinkPad 770Z at time of announcement.


PC DOS 2000

MS-DOS Version 6.22


NOTE: Previous versions of these operating systems are not supported.
For example, PC DOS 7.0 and MS-DOS 6.0.

Under DOS, you can use up to 7.9 GB of the 14.1 GB or 8.1 GB HDD. This is a limitation of DOS.

PC-DOS 2000 is little more than a Year2000 compliant update to PC-DOS 7.0

You can update PC-DOS 7.0 (Rev 0) to PC-DOS 7.0 (Rev 1) which is then the same as PC-DOS 2000 for FREE:
