NASA write-up of the experiment whose data was recovered:

the news article tried to downplay the use of the DOS operating system
as the OS for the space shuttle,

DOS was never the OS for the space shuttle. The space shuttle carried
experiments from many different agencies and some of them used DOS.
That does not mean that DOS was the OS for the space shuttle.

The OS for the GPC was (and probably is) AFAIK HALS, High Order Assenbly
Language for Shuttle, this is developed by IBM

HAL/S was not the OS, FCOS was the OS (at least for the PASS GPCs).
HAL/S was the language in which most of the flight software was written.
HAL/S was developed by Intermetrics; the PASS flight software was
developed by IBM.
