Question DOS Requirements
Good day everyone!!!
I know there are a lot of different versions of DOS, but is there a common set of hardware requirements (in general) to run DOS?

If it's a PC, about all it has to do is boot up.

I've got an old Tandy out in my shop with
no hard drive and only a 720k floppy, but
it runs DOS 6.20 with simple programs.

Of course, both DOS and the program must
be on each floppy...

No problem, glad to help.

I also want to clarify that the "floppy" I
mentioned is a 3 1/2" diskette, not the
5 1/4" one that really was "floppy"...

Also, it reads the diskette as drive C.
