I don't think Tandy ever put DOS3.2 in ROM. I remember the 1000HX having DOS2.1
in rom, but the 1000SL/TL/XL/RL series all had DOS3.3 to my knowledge. I have
put DOS5.0 on the old external 15Mb drive on my 1000TL2 and set it to boot from
disk with no problems. I removed everything from the disk first, but I am not
sure I had to. I left the old dos directory intact, so it asked if it should
replace it. I said 'make a new one in \dos5' and it left the old \dos alone.
Summary: Works fine here with DOS5.0 on my 1000TL2's hard disk. - jim
