It had some extra commands.  There may be documentation for the various
Disto products, including CDOS in some CoCo archive.  Or CDOS may have been
reviewed in Rainbow or other CoCo magazines.  (I just did a quick google
search but no luck in finding the CDOS command list.)  I do remember there
was a command that would reserve a screen line for a clock display.  CLOCK
ON, maybe.  Designed to work with DIsto's real-time clock in the
controller.  But if DIR doesn't work, you have some other problem.  In
addition to cleaning the edge contacts, you could try reseating the CDOS
ROM in its socket.  (I'm assuming that the plus in C+ DOS indicates it is
somebody's homebrew modification of CDOS, but it might be something else
entirely.)
