I am, yes (I'm not the original poster).

In fact, pretty much *all* DOS versions boot on an IBM 5150.  I've
personally tested 1.1, 2.0, 2.11, 3.10, 3.3, 4.0, 5.0, 6.22, 7.0 (PC
DOS 2000), DR-DOS 5.0, DR-DOS 6.0, Caldera DR-DOS 7.03... all boot
just fine on a 1981 IBM 5150 with a 5.25" 360K floppy drive.

So, if you write a DOS that won't, then you've done something wrong
(like relied on the RTC or something).  And if pure DOS won't boot on
your custom BIOS, you've done something else wrong :-)
