  • Tandy DOS 2.11 System disk

    From Ashton Carlson@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 15 21:09:40 2018
    I just got my parents old Tandy 1000 out of the garage because i wanted to start playing with it. Well, i got everything out and got it all set up but it was asking for a system disk, I asked my parents if they had any idea where it was, they didn't. I
    couldn't find any Tandy Disks online for sale. So i was wondering if there was a company that could make the disk for me, or if i could put a 3.5 floppy in it, or buy a regular dos 2.11 disk. Can i have some guidance please on how to get hold of these
    disks

    I found DOS for my Tandy 1000 EX here:

    More specifically, you can get really old versions of MS-DOS there too:
