Sephiroth Posted July 22, 2002 well i need to know how to make a boot disk for the old tandy 1000TX computer. possibly booting my versions of DOS 4-6.22. Also is it possible to get into the BIOS at boot, like modern systems or do i need software, meaning i need to make a boot disks too 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom-Child Posted July 22, 2002 The BIOS should be accessible during the boot sequence, although it's been a long time since I've played with anything as old as a Tandy. As for a boot disk, I think you have to put command.com on a disk for it to count as a boot disk. It'll also need an autoexec.bat. Past that, I don't remember too much about DOS. I try to forget old evils. DC 0 Share this post Link to post
fodders Posted July 22, 2002 Easiest way to find out how to get into BIOS is to unplug keyboard, switch on, it soon tells you what to press. Format a floppy with cmd format /s 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted July 22, 2002 yea i have been formating that way, just i think that the disks are too new? i also think it only tries to boot from the 3 1/2 drive instead of both. oh well just need to play with it 0 Share this post Link to post
