    I hope this answers your question....ms-dos is an operating system
    and the amiga 1000 is combuter! If you're asking whether or not
    ms-dos will run on the 1000 by itself, the answer is no. You can
    however run ms-dos on the 2000 if you have a bridge card.There 
    was a company (compusave) that has an adapter that you can put 
    the bridge card into and connect to your 1000. It costs about 
    500 bucks  for it not including the bridge card and has many 
    problems. So much so that they discontinued taking orders.
3113.2aren't we forgetting something?HYSTER::DEARBORNTrouvez MieuxWed Nov 15 1989 17:026
Transformer, a software product from Commodore will turn your 
A1000 into a MS-DOS PC.  It requires a 5 1/4 drive to use and is 
becomming very rare.
