DOS 5.2 ftw

• snerbles 5y ago
  Do what my Tandy 1000 did, and burn DOS 3.3 right to ROM. None of this wimpy flash-but-with-a-read-only-bit, no fancy UV-erasable EEPROM...just honest-to-goodness-blown-fuse ROM. Boots immediately too.

    My Tandy 1000 (TL/2) had a EEPROM you could configure for booting from rom (dos 3.3) or the hard drive (originally also dos 3.3, but IIRC dos 6 ran fine too.

    > just honest-to-goodness-blown-fuse ROM Well, blown-fuse ROM is called PROM. Real ROM is made from hard metal VLSI masks or old ladies weaving copper wires.
