The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.0a

Unlike other PCs, the Tandy 2500 XL has MS-DOS in ROM. By default, the Tandy 2500 XL does not read the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file so any changes Microsoft Windows makes to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT are not read by the system.

To disable this feature, run the CMOS Setup program for the Tandy and turn on the settings for the "Check for Config.sys" and "Check for Autoexec.bat."

The default for the ROM DOS files and buffers is 10. This can also be changed through the Tandy system Setup program.
