A "TPDD client", also usually called a DOS(note), is software that runs on the portable and can read and write files on a Tandy Portable Disk Drive or Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2, or any of their rebadged versions like Brother FB-100 and Purple Computing disk drive, or any "TPDD server", software which runs on a pc and emulates a TPDD.
To use a TPDD client with a real TPDD1 or TPDD2 drive, you need the special cable that came with the drive, or a new cable that has the same electronics inside.

To use a TPDD client with a TPDD emulator, you need a normal Model_T_Serial_Cable.
Here are some of the major DOS's (TPDD clients) for Model T computers:
- floppy - The official DOS that came with the TPDD
- flopy2 - The official DOS that came with the TPDD2
- TS-DOS - Commercial DOS from Travelling Software. Now free.
- Tiny - A tiny DOS that originally came with POWR-DOS
- Teeny - A slightly smaller version of Tiny, and the smallest DOS
- DSKMGR - An early alternative DOS. One of the only things available for Kyotronic KC-85 and Olivetti M-10.
- POWR-DOS / POWR-DISK - An early DOS from Acroatix.
- Disk+ - Commercial DOS option ROM from PCSG.
- Disk Power - Commercial DOS by Hugo Ferreyra.
Here are some TPDD clients that run on other systems:
- TpddTool.py - Python. Runs on anything that has a Python interpreter and the PySerial module.
- PDD210 - MS-DOS client by Tim Palmquist
- File:PDD2.ZIP - MS-DOS TPDD2 client by Brian Woodcox
- File:PDD1.ZIP - MS-DOS TPDD1 client by BJ Gleason - modified from PDD2
- LapDOS - MS-DOS client by Travelling Software
- MacDOS - Macintosh client (128,512,Plus,SE, etc...) by Travelling Software
- DISKMGR - Cambridge Z88
- DISC-RPB - Cambridge Z88
- MacTrans - TPDD client implemented as as Macintosh HyperCard stack ??? (dead link)
To run MS-DOS apps on Linux with DOS's COM1 connected to Linux's /dev/ttyUSB0, and DOS's C: drive mounted on the current directory:
dosbox -c "serial1 directserial realport:ttyUSB0" .
Example:
wget https://archive.org/download/M100SIG/M100SIG.zip/Lib-09-PERIFERALS%2FPDD210.ZIP unzip PDD210.ZIP dosbox -c "serial1 directserial realport:ttyUSB0" . C:>pdd
