The ones I made to put up on arcadeshopper were specifically to provide
reproductions of the originals, because otherwise there is no way to copy
them still, not because it's the best dos.

Also, aren't there utils in the m100sig that require the original dos? They
call routines from the original floppy or flopy2.

I think if you don't specifically want the original disk for one of those
reasons like preservation or dependency, then you don't need any disk at
all, especially for tpdd1 where the bootstrap procedure is not convenient.
