The files created on all versions of MS-DOS on the rainbow are compatiable.
2.11 was the last 'official' version of MS-DOS from DEC.
3.x is available from Suitiable Solutions.

The Rainbow uses 80 track (96 tpi) Single sidded double density floppy
drives.
IBM PCs use 40 track(48tpi) Double Sidded Double Density. However PC DOS
can format a 48tpi frive as single sidded using the format/1s option, these
disks can be read and written to by the rainbow with out any additional
software. The rainbow can not format/read or write any double sidded disk.
