Z was most definitely for Zork. I could only think of two options and the other was Zaxxon. And knowing you, I could read your mind, you know.... I knew what one you were going to run with.... 
Atari Dos was fine, it did what was needed and did it pretty well, until someone gave me a copy of MyDos. I think that was the one that didn't have to offload memory to load in the menu? But SpartaDos, that was a whole new beast, no menu but super power because anything not built in could be built as a utility. And like you mentioned, the folks at ICD were just brains and built it to handle pretty much whatever hardware you could throw at it...
I learned about the neutral zone from the book Racing the Beam. But I am definitely going to put that link aside and watch it when I have a few minutes to focus. Like probably lunchtime...
