INSTALLING MS-DOS ONTO
YOUR
DeskMate DISKETTE
To allow for more data space, Tandy
1000
applications do not have
MS-DOS installed. Therefore, your DeskMate diskette is not a
bootable diskette. You can boot
(start
up) your system with your
MS-DOS diskette and then insert the DeskMate diskette to execute
the program. For extra convenience, you can make
a
bootable
DeskMate diskette by following these instructions.
Note:
This procedure reduces usable disk space from
52224 bytes to 12288 bytes.
Do
not use this procedure if your printer requires
LPINST. (See “Printer Configuration Instructions” in
your tutorial.) In this case, you must boot your system
using the MS-DOS diskette.
If you want to use the tutorial, please do
so
before
you install
MS-DOS
on your DeskMate diskette. The installation, though making
your diskette bootable, does not leave room for data files needed
for your use during the tutorial.
