The Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2 came with a dos called "FLOPPY", on the utility disk. This is a different version than what's on the TPDD1 Utility Disk.

The only way to install it is to bootstrap using the utility disk that came with the drive.

There are a few ways to get a copy of the TPDD2 Utility Disk:

  • You can create one using a TPDD2 drive and pdd.sh
wget https://archive.org/download/M100SIG/M100SIG.zip/Lib-09-PERIFERALS/PDD210.ZIP
unzip PDD210.ZIP
wget http://tandy.wiki/images/1/16/26-3814.ZIP
unzip 26-3814.ZIP
dosbox -c "serial1 directserial realport:ttyUSB0" .
C:>pdd /FORMAT
C:>pdd /WRITE 26-3814.PDD

And here is the source for the labels used on the ArcadeShopper disks if you want to print more of those for your own backup disks:

The glabel files include links to the exact matching label stock to print that label on.
