QDOS was intended to be a clone of CP/M. PC-DOS  had some significant 
differences form CP/M; I don't know whether that was true of QDOS.

I vaguely recall that CP/M had PIP with DEC syntax.

CP/M was very similar to any DOS version. The most important (IMHO)
exception was lack of directories.

BTW: I still have CP/M and hardware capable to run it ;-)
First version of MS-DOS I worked consciously with was 3.30, however I
had to do with some older version also.
