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
