Perhaps there was, but the only bell "QDOS" rings for me
is "Quick'n'Dirty OS" -- which I believe was the embryonic
product Gates & Co. bought and turned into MS-DOS. (Will
check this tonight.)

There also used to be an MS-DOS competitor called QNX,
which (in addition to never catching on) offered built-in
networking and features that came only much later to
the Microsoft product.
