If I remember correctly, Dungeon Master used direct DMA for it's disk access
(BAD!) and so doesn't care what TOS version you have and thus will probably
work fine. Not that using TOS to load should make a difference.

Falcon is file based but may or may not work depending on whether
it loads to an absolute address since that address may be in use by TOS.

As for Pha$ar, I have no idea. Never heard of it.
