MS-DOS 1.25 8" Disk Image for Displaywriter

[Bill Degnan]

The Displaywriter is not natively DOS based, but I assume you know this and
that's not what you are saying.  Instead someone internally at IBM or
otherwise ported DOS 1.25 for a non native system (the Displaywriter).  In
short I dont know of any IBM  MS DOS 1.25 for Diplsaywtiter, at.least when
I worked at IBM and they had Dipslaywriters in the Customer Center in
Wilm., DE.

Interesting.  Coincidentally I did build a bootable 8" DOS disk just for
the fun of it but it was DOS 6.22.  The 80 vs 77 tracks issue came.up.

Good.luck :-)
