UHmmm..... Tandy Deskmate is not an operating system - you will need some flavor of DOS - or Windows 95 or 98 and boot into DOS-mode.

Yep, either DR-DOS7.xx or FreeDOS will suffice, may I also suggest you look into FreeGEM5 as a Desktop!

Some tandy branded systems had Deskmate in Rom and they would automatically boot to deskmate from the rom if setup to do so, you need the setup program to choose this though
