Guys,
Back in those days, Disks were extremely expensive. BOS, (Basic Operating System) was designed to run in an extremely small memory size. It did not use disk or tape.
DOS/360 and TOS/360 are interrelated, as they are where DOS 34 came from. However, BPS and BOS were separate developments. I know DOS/360 and TOS/360 were developed in Germany, while I think the others came from somewhere else.

P.S. I own a z/VSE software company and have been working with VSE since 1985 (DOS/VS 1.3.5).

Hi Jay,
BOS is kind of like a TOS without foreground jobs. The version that
is available does not support disk.
