As far as I know, all releases of IBM PC DOS/IBM DOS

MS-DOS through 6.x work on a 5150. I'm not sure about IBM PC DOS 7, IBM
PC DOS 2000, or MS-DOS 7.x.
I run PC DOS 2000 (7.0 with y2k fixes) on my 5160 just fine. It's nice
using 2010 as a date and having it actually work.
Obviously some features of the later versions of DOS
aren't going to
work on the 5150, e.g., EMM386.
No, but QRAM + a real hardware EMS board allows me to load TSRs high
even on my 5160.
