When 5150, 5160, and 5170 first came out, 3.5" drives did not yet exist.
OEMs that were early adopters of them used MS-DOS 2.11. The disk format

you need, here is how to get DOS 1 or DOS 3.3 onto that disk and make it
bootable.

All,
I've been delving into ancient IBM PC-DOS... 1.0, 2.0 and have landed on
