For my opinion: no. Even in 1985 there were already different more or less compatible versions of DOS. Even the ones highly compatible did not call themself MS-DOS, at maximum MS-DOS compatible.

For me MS-DOS is a term referring to the original Microsoft codebase and binaries.

But I see in the codebase

https://sourceforge.net/p/pdos/gitcode/ci/master/tree/src/int21.c

that there is already some int21 handler stuff. Perhaps it will eventually be some sort of binary compatible. At the moment FCB functions are missing though :-D .
