Came as I recall with MS-DOS 2.11, should use anything up to 6.22,
though of course it's tricky building a 720k 6.22.system disk. 3.3
is probably your best bet, although I think there were some hardware
specific utilities on the original material that might come in rather
handy. Nice machine -- the only DOS laptop to tempt me prior to the
Zenith SuperSports.
