SYMPTOMS
Some Tandy 1000TX 286 computers have a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive that can be configured as a 360K drive. If the drive has been reconfigured, the MS-DOS 6.x OEM 720K Disk 1 will not start (boot) the computer.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:

  Modify or create the CONFIG.SYS file on Disk 1, and add the following line:      DRIVPARM=/d:0 /f:2  Boot the system using this disk.

Setup should now run normally.
